Couple’s therapy, with Melanie Hunter

<p>It can be hard trying to decide if you want children or not, and it can be doubly difficult when there are two people involved in the decision. That’s why I wanted to speak to today’s guest, Melanie Hunter, who went with her husband to couple’s therapy, specifically to unpack the question: should they have kids? It was fascinating to hear about how they made an intentional choice to be childfree, and heeded their therapists’ advice that, if you’re not going to make a baby, you should create something else together: a purpose, a life.</p><p>Follow Melanie on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melaniehunter888/">@melaniehunter888</a>.</p><p>Check out the great work of <a href="https://www.bestbuddies.org/">Best Buddies International.</a></p><p>And the book Melanie referred to is <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52588.Cunt">Cunt: A Declaration of Independence</a>, by Inga Muscio.</p>
