“I love our life, our relationship as it is, and having a child won’t enhance it.”

This is just one of the many motives Laura S. Scott uncovered in her interviews with childless by choice couples. In Two Is Enough, Scott tells her own story, as well as others’ who are joining the growing number of couples opting out of parenthood. Honest and unapologetic, Two Is Enough challenges the notion that parenthood is inevitable, or essential for well-being and happiness. For those who are childless by choice or by circumstance, Scott offers ways to manage the pressure and questions from family and strangers alike in a culture that idealizes parenthood. For everyone else, she creates a space to consider and evaluate what a childfree life really looks like.

"One of the biggest motives [in my researching] for both men and women was that they love their life the way it is, and having children won't enhance it." Read the full interview with Two Is Enough author Laura S. Scott on AOLhealth.com.
