These are the people I don't know whether to pity or be infuriated over. The latter is easy...pure unadulterated selfishness...the former more complex, especially if healthy and able to have kids, but don't out of pure selfishness as compared to those couples unable to have kids or adopt.
Not a new thing that this couple is doing. What is new-ish is the fact they are so proud of themselves for having coming up with it (ahem!) that they feel the need to shout it to the rooftops.
Merlin, in That Hideous Strength, nearly responsed to a similar decision for unfruitfulness from the perspective of God's command. Yes, a giddiness wafts from such a decision, but emptiness is empty, and as you say, a story of no interest.
Good thoughts as usual IMO media has made marriage for everybody, including Evans., far more complicated than it needs to be - esp. if you read about the marriages described in Scripture...! Also what would we do without "just-so" studies? Lol!

Somebody should ask them how they feel about their decision 20-30 years from now.
