Do you guys ever play couples without kids? I'm curious

I have done it, but only until I felt they were done enough with careers and whatnot to finally have kids. I find it easier to play childless with gay couples. I used to play one such couple for many months if not years. Sometimes they would have kids, though, but those got kicked out when done with teenhood, because too many sims stress me out. I certainly need breaks from family play and just play single or a couple.
