And I regularly get guessed 10-15 years younger than I am, and I know it's due to the fact that I've not had to deal with all the stress of raising kids. I've always gotten my rest, and have a pretty stress free life.

I am totally on the same wavelength as you on this one.
Me and hubby decided straight after getting married that kids were a no no. We knew we wanted a stress free, no responsibility lifestyle. If you don't have that 24/7 responsibility the years are kinder to you, we have found.
We are lucky to have 6 nieces and nephews and that's enough for us! You can spoil 'em and then give 'em back.
We've had good careers (my husband still does, I was lucky enough to retire a few years ago at 40) and therefore had the money to own our home outright at an early age and to travel the world whilst still young. We still feel like we are in our 20's and have been together for nearly 28 years now.
We have also had the time to devote to each other and not let the romance slide because we've had no worry or tiredness that revolves around kids.
It is very hard for people who love kids to understand but we wouldn't change a thing and for us it was the best decision ever.
