What if they don't want to have children? Or are you one of these people that think you should burn in hell for not procreating?

"What if they don't want to have children? Or are you one of these people that think you should burn in hell for not procreating?"

No, I don't believe that, and I don't believe that contraception is wrong, either. I do believe, however, that what people want isn't necessarily what is best for them, and that God gets to vote on the issue, and that human nature is such that there should properly be an orderly progression to life.

My husband was 45 when we met, had no children and wished for none. But, he was happy to help me raise my two daughters. And, although I would have been delighted to have a child with him if he had wanted that, I didn't feel the need for more children for myself. So, for us, not procreating was a good answer. But, my point is that despite not procreating, my husband still progressed on to that fatherhood role.

Neither fatherhood nor step-fatherhood is in every man's future, but reverting to an earlier stage of maturation or staying stuck in the same place is not a good thing.
