"Childless" is the most appropriate and sensitive term for a couple who has tried to have children but has been unsuccessful. "Without kids" is also an acceptable option but can be seen as more informal. "Child-free" implies a deliberate decision to not have children, which is not the case in this scenario. "Non-breeders" can be seen as offensive and should be avoided.
