Today, I was watching Good Morning America, which featured a story about happy and successful couples who are choosing to remain child free. The reasons in my opinion seem to be mostly financial. But we must ask does the Bible speak about this issue?
The Bible is what we must always return to in order to make decisions about life and what we are to do. The word of God is clear about two things: one marriage was instituted for humans to leave and cleave to their spouse and to "go forth and multiply". The Bible is also clear that children are a gift from God.
Therefor it is my opinion that it is not an option for Christians to consider. We have an obligation to our creator to have children. Children are part of the deal when you get married. If you cannot have children, that is a different story. There are thousands of children waiting to be adopted right now. It wouls still be a gift even if they don't posses your DNA.
