Okay, I'm young & some may call me "dumb" but my fiance and I don't plan on having children. It is just not something that we feel interested in. Call us selfish, but it's a decision that we both made and it's wonderful that we found each other, instead of both of us forcing our choices on other people.

I am a conservative, Pro-Life, and if God decides I'm going to have a child, then I will. But I don't think there's anything wrong with not having children. I don't expect an award for it or an article in the paper about me, and I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong by not having children.

Please don't hate me. :-)

LOL. Try to ignore the hateful ones if you can, and you'll be fine. :) Good luck on your upcoming marriage.

Thats your (and his) own personal decision.

I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong by not having children.

And you shouldn't because you aren't.

Im really surprised at some parents opinions here.

I appreciate your post, especially where you acknowledge God's decision. I trust if and when it is time for you to have children, that the Lord will prepare your heart to desire it.
