Does anyone in a relationship find it extremely difficult to find other couples to hang out with?

We have some friends who are single and some friends that have children but none that are in a relationship without children. We greatly appreicate our single friends and the friends with children (lord knows if you have good people in you life you do not them them fade away) but it would be nice to find people in the same situation as us.

Thoughts?

Depends on age group . Younger couple and older couple with no kids / grow kids. Then there are couples with no kids , but that is much less common. So that's the difficulty. Singles scene, family scene or before or after kids couples.

I have a set of friends that also happen to be a couple in their early forties with no children and no plans to have them. The rest have at least one kid

Why?
Why would it matter what status your friends have? If you're friends with single people and both enjoy their company isn't that good enough? The same with married couples and kids. I understand the need to go out with a couple for drinks without having to worry about kids. And I also understand your single friends might not want to feel like a 3rd wheel but ultimately, a friendship is about acceptance. It's rare to find friends you trust, have things in common with, and accept you! I'd say if you stumble on a childless couple to hang out with, great, but I'd develop an existing friendship regardless of their status. Wouldn't you want them to do the same for you and your partner?
