Its not a matter of pride. I know the mind of God on this quite well, because He shared it with me:

"God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

And He has not rescinded this, the first commandment of Scripture.

You do not believe that this has been accomplished?

The Apostle Paul leaves a good deal of day-to-day life to the conscience of the person. Since God never put a number on “be fruitful and multiply,” shouldn't a person's conscience, steered by seeking God, be a guide? And if a couple together chooses that zero, one, two, or 15 kids is enough, isn't that the business of the couple?
