A Pew Research Center survey conducted in October 2021 found that 44 percent of nonparents in the United States aged 18 to 49 said it was not too likely or not at all likely that they would have children someday.Of these respondents, 56 percent said it was unlikely that they would ever have children because “they just don’t want to,” while 43 percent gave some other reason. Among those who named another reason, 19 percent said it was for medical reasons, while 17 percent said it was for financial reasons.’Are We Living the Life?’In the viral video, the poster took viewers on a tour of two spare rooms—one for her and one for her husband.”We have our master bedroom that, obviously, we share. We sleep in there. I have my own room, and my husband has his own room. I just want to show you what our rooms look like,” she said before the camera panned across her personal space.The poster’s room featured a desk filled with craft supplies, shelves for work materials and a cozy corner where she pursued hobbies such as “junk journaling”—a craft that involves repurposing materials to create a handcrafted journal.”Right now, I’m crafting,” she said before the tour moved on to her husband’s room, which similarly reflected his hobbies and interests.The poster’s husband could be seen wearing headphones at a gaming desk, immersed in a video game. His room featured skateboards and sneakers neatly displayed along the walls. “You can tell what his hobbies are,” the poster said.The video showcases their thoughtful use of space but also highlights how their home reflects their individuality.”So right now, he’s in his room playing video games. I’m in my room working on my arts and crafts, making and doing my junk journaling,” the poster said. The video ended with her asking: “Are we living the life? Because I feel like this is the best.”‘This Is the Dream’The viral clip struck a chord with viewers, many of whom praised the couple’s setup in the comments section.”This is the dream,” one viewer wrote, while another added, “This is exactly what I want.””This is what I would consider being RICH!!!!” a commenter wrote, and another user said: “No girl, that is THE life. You’ve made it.”Several users appreciated the concept of having designated spaces for hobbies and relaxation.”This is amazing,” one commented. “Especially when you need some time for yourself you can go and have some privacy and work on crafts. I started a junk journal recently and it’s so fun!”Some lauded the arrangement for promoting a healthy and happy marriage.”And this is another way a marriage lasts loooong,” a user wrote. “You both have your own lives, personal space. And then come together in the community bedroom at night.”
