I am the author of Families of Two: Interviews With Happily Married Couples Without Children by Choice. As one of the first books to get “real talk from real people” on marriages without children by choice, it has received national and international attention. I interviewed over 100 couples around the country, and the book profiles fifteen couples that best represent the couples interviewed.
Families of Two dispels the myths often associated with not having children by choice, helps couples who are deciding whether to have children, and offers insight to friends and family who may not understand this choice. It gives examples of roadmaps for marriage without children, and celebrates the many ways to live happily ever after.
Since its publication, I have talked with hundreds of childfree men and women from all walks of life. This blog continues the dialogue. We discuss all that is childfree-related and beyond, including examining this choice in larger sociological and global contexts.
These topical areas dovetail with my long standing interest and savvy in behavioral sciences, psychology, and communications. In addition to writing books, I help organizations and individuals reach their writing and speaking goals. See more about this work at Carroll Communications.
You’ll also find books on childfree topics and more at my book review site, LiveTrue Books. This site features books that delve into the many ways to “live true” to self, others and our world. Read reviews and weigh in on your take on books in the LiveTrue collection.
May this blog continue to serve as the go-to spot for informing and educating people about one of the most important choices we make in life, and be a stimulating forum for all to recognize and accept that the choice not to reproduce is just as legitimate as the choice to reproduce. Please join me!
