Social Issues

What about the social awkwardness that childless couples face? Well, most of the couples who participated in the study were from urban areas of developed countries. Most of them were from educated families.

Changing Times

Researchers say that things will soon change, fertility methods may improve in the future and also childless couples may find new ways of finding meaning to their lives.

So, they concluded that incompatibility and infidelity are the main reason for divorce and infertility is no longer seen as the main reason for separation in today's world.
