Some people are childless because through no fault of their own they are infertile. More people are childless because they choose to be childless and do not try follow God's commandments. Pets are not a substitute for children.

Genesis 9:1

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

I wanted seven kids but God gave me none.
Now that I see the speed at which the culture is decaying, I thank God for His wisdom.
I would have been a wreck worrying about the kids and grandkids.
