One of the happiest couples I ever knew, were married later in life.
Such lovely people. He had been briefly married before (very unhappily)
and separated; she had never had anybody until they met and married
around age 50. So no children for either of them, but he was a famous
and inspirational school teacher in UK and she taught at his school. She
told me once "We never had any babies, but we've had hundreds of
children". They absolutely adored each other for about 30 years until he
died.
