Sharing the context for this question - 
Indian society does not accept (easily), and it may pressure families with only ONE SON (single child or one among sisters) , because he bears the onus of continuing the lineage.

Are there any couples (or you know of someone), who chose to be different?

P.S. The question is only for serious DINK couples who are not considering kids. 
You are not DINK, if you "may plan in the future" or "let's see how it goes"

Ques to DINK couple/husband - Are you the only SON (single child or sisters) in family?

A couple of other posts are on what unmarried men / women look for in their potential spouses. 

Married folks, based on your experience, what advice would you give people as they are going through the journey of figuring out the right partner.

I don't know whether this is the right platform to post. I find myself in a unique situation where I am seeking for a companionship with a man who identifies as gay but has a straight appearance or someone who is asexual. I'm a techie and I am specifically looking for a partner who is in Bengaluru. It is important to me that this person does not have any plans for biological parenthood, as I am seeking a relationship that allows us to prioritize our individual goals and aspirations. But I'm okay with adoption or surrogacy in case the person wants to have a baby.

I am a confident and independent individual who values authenticity and open communication. I believe that this kind of arrangement can provide both parties with stability and support while allowing us to maintain our personal identities and freedom. Mutual respect and understanding are crucial elements for me in navigating this journey.

If you are a man who aligns with the qualities I am seeking and are interested in exploring the possibility of a companionship, I would be open to connecting and discussing our compatibility further. Let’s embark on this journey together with honesty, understanding, and a shared vision for our individual happiness and fulfilment.Please mail me at truecompanionship24@gmail.com if you want to connect further.

P.S: Straight people please don't judge me, I'm someone who is still in the closet due to some personal reasons.Many women who are lesbians by nature ended up getting married to men due to various reasons, social reason being predominant. I don't want to make anyone's life miserable and don't want to cheat someone so took this decision.

Crazy story of a friend's friend
School best friends had jokingly committed to the idea - if we don't find someone, we'll marry each other

Both dated around, got hearts broken (broke some hearts)
10 years later, they are together and marrying in second half of the year.

Funny thing, both are 25yo

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

I grew up with a stay at home mom but I have plenty of friends who grew up with “power couple” parents. If anything, the kids with working moms were better prepared for school and were more... polished? And I know plenty of fuck ups whose retarded moms stayed at home and/or whose parents ended up in nasty ass divorces with their “helpless” moms cleaning out their dads.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with nannies and having help. You grow to love them in a different way and they give you another perspective as you grow. It’s not like kids with nannies automatically assume that their parents don’t love them, and it’s rare for both parents to be completely absent all the time unless they never wanted kids in the first place. I feel like the argument against nannies and career women is usually made from bitter people who can’t afford them

I won’t settle for someone who doesn’t have a career. Not a job, a career. Maybe she’ll make the decision to stay at home for a few years but I don’t want to bankroll the seamless and reality show watching habits of an intellectually lazy partner for the rest of my life. I’ve seen firsthand the type of woman who doesn’t want to be challenged, what happens to the men who marry them, and how their kids turn out. Fuck that noise. This isn’t the 1980s

And if you think you can maintain your lifestyle in Bangalore/Mumbai once you have kids on a single income, think again, especially when your friends have paired off with those dreaded career girls.

Power Couples?

29,M. I am planning to get married this year. My parents have not accumulated much money, plus i don't want to burden them with the expenses of my marriage, hence I will be sponsoring the marriage on my own. Same is the case for my partner, and we will split all expenses equally.

Now, here comes the twist, our parents wish to retain the "izzat" that they have in the society and want to do a big wedding. The budget that I have been told is minimum 20L. Tbh, I don't want to spend this much. I was looking for something ~ 5L.

People on grapevine, especially the members who married recently, what do you think is a decent budget for marriage. Additionally, could you help out in some money saving hacks.

Is there any ratio in which you split your expenses? Based on who earns more or based on gender?

The vision of working from scratch to build wealth has made so many families be in middle class
Dowry also pushed families from wealthy to working class
Raising kids as frustrated, tired individuals - Such a shitty arrangement imo

I have seen atleast 10+ people (regular people) get married from Twitter. How????!!

This question is for folks who have married early or have friends who have gotten married in their early 20s. What are your thoughts on this front?

Thoughts on marrying early, at say 25

Grapeviners, can you, with all honesty convince a non-believer like me into getting married and having children. If you do, my parents will send a million blessings your way. 

About me: 
- Female, 28
- mostly introverted, very selectively extroverted
- single and normally attractive
- Jinxed when it comes to relationships
- Financially independent, Net worth: 1 cr
- not bragging, but I'm decently intellectual and I can have smart conversations

My reason to resist marriage is: I'm scared it won't work out and will cause bigger problems than being single. Have seen too many unhappy marriages in family and friends. Dating scenes in recent times have only made things even more unimpressive.
