"Families" without children? Hmmm... I could buy "couples" sans offspring, but it was the child that made the couple a "family".

The headline writer is illiterate.

Thank you for your opinion, but my husband and I are a family.

My husband and I have been a family since we married 20 years ago. There is nothing wrong with the headline. :)

Absurd. Just because my wife and I can't have children doesn't mean we're not family.
