hmmmmmmm...........interesting, i think u should stay with your partner till the end and if the pressure continues, cause there will always be mounted pressure, adoption will be just fine.

YES, stick to ur partner, because marriage is for better for worse. and remember human being can never give u a child only God can do that and may be is not yet God's time but when it is time you will surely have them in abundance,
but stick to your partner

A lot of people have faced this kind of a situation. for real christains, it is easier for them to leave with the situation bcos they put God 1st. in the case of an unbeliever, i will say, there are people that believe on the matrimonial bond " for better for worse" people tend to remain in the marriage without children for so many reasons.
1- for the fear of God ( for real born again )
2-sympathy for their partner or marriage. sympathy in the sense that b4 they got married,they have either both passed thru hard times e.g abortion, family disagreement to their marriage etc.
The best thing to do is to continue praying or opt for an adoption if u really cant do without children. there are millions of children out there looking for home, family, shelter etc why not give those children an opportunity? i hav a friend that told her husband b4 marriage sayin" honey after having 2kids for u, i will adopt 1 or 2. i want a family of six. it happens in the world all over. it is not a shameful thing.

the right to do is for the both of you to put every to God in prayer not only prayer but to have faith that it will surely come to pass (having children) and the both of you aslo should should join hands together to make it work by not listenin g to what people around have to say both from family members and friends. remember the story of Sarah when she gave birth, she had aready passed her menopose and it was also recorded that she gave birth to other children after Issac.

but there are times ifell that its not all that are ment to give birth no matter how faith we are but onethuing for sure our God is a God of possibilities. I know and can testify to it

i think adding another partner only for the aim of getting atleast a single child might be a better solution to the problem

i would love to share this topic in religion
We marry the people that we love but we dont marry so as to get children,let us be clear here that children are jus impact or fruit of a married couple,what of theso who get children before ?i think these people should not separate till death apart them becaose God doesnt allow that and i can give an example of those people in those days of Jesus when they wanted to stone a woman who was cought commiting adultery,Jesus told them if anyone knows himself that he has not sined is alowed to stone a woman .but no any man was worthy that and a woman was free.so please i ask those people who are intending to do that to not do that is bad.

Stick till death do you part. not easy though but, with the grace of God avaliable at all times should make it easy. To me sticking together till death do us part is as good. cos i signed the doted lines and i don't intend to abandon him/her all in the name of wanting kids in my marriage. i know of a couple (old now) who had none and decided to adopt and train as if its theirs and they are happy living fine. Alot of kids are out there longing to have a family of their own. We are created for different purpose in life so lets just live in God's purpose for our lives and not of the world.
