Children should be concieved by a married man and woman in union together with the invitation of the Lord’s presence. This is what sex is meant for, the creation of children and the strengthening of marriage.
If a man and woman cannot conceive in this manner, then it is best for them to continue loving each other and continue to strengthen their bond in union. The Lord works miracles.
Additionally, we don’t know the reason why the Lord does not grant children to some couples. Joachim and Anna (Mary’s parents) were barren until their 70s, when they conceived Mary. Zachariah and Elizabeth were also past the “child bearing” age when they conceived John the Baptist.
There are many examples throughout history of barren couples adopting children, and what salvation it is for those children. The Lord’s surrogacy.
It is true IVF requires deviant sexual acts for it to be completed. Even scraping the woman’s womb is a violent act. Better for couples to love each other and the Lord, keep themselves open for the Lord’s blessing, and keep perversion far away from the family and marriage bed.
well said Joan. agreed.
