There can definitely be happiness in marriage! I love my marriage. That doesn't mean that marriage is right for you. If you don't want to have children because you don't have a lot of money, one option could be to make more money. You should keep in mind though that, even if you have a lot of money, it very well may not be the best thing to just hand your children everything on a platter. They need to learn to work, set goals and get by in life on their own. Another option could certainly be to find a wife who also doesn't want children, if you don't want them. There are women out there that don't want children. The most important thing is to do what you want. If you want to get married, get married. You'll figure out the rest as you go. You're still young. Maybe you'll change your mind and get married when you're 30 or 40. There's nothing wrong with that.
