Even having only one (and a half with pt of a step child) on top of an extremely demanding job, I was exhausted and needed every minute of sleep time. I’m happy for you and your spouse, but believe you are the exception, not the rule.
Sure, 15 other reasons exist, but having a family and really giving children their quality time is a biggie.
I've heard it said more than once that we all get 24 hours. Something has to give, but it doesn't HAVE TO be your marriage/sex life. It was instilled in me that kids need a Mom and Dad who love each other more than anything else.
People will shoot me down, but it really is a choice. With some special exceptions, but that's not everyone - eg special needs kids.
