Peter Jon Mitchell: Declining married families across Canada means children will become rarities

“Babies,” which recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, tells the story of a longtime married couple deciding not to have children. The comedy is the definitive answer to the question the celebrity couple, director Lauren Miller Rogen and husband Seth Rogen, have fielded for years: when are you going to have a baby?

The decision whether to have children is rather personal, and it is easy to empathize with a couple who have faced scrutiny over their decision. Even so, the cultural norm of associating babies with marriage is a good thing.
