I’m a baptist.

You are also well versed in the faith. I once had a Baptist co-worker. The young man had recently married in a Baptist Church. Both were quite active in their church's ministry. One day I suggested that he and his bride must be looking forward to settling down and starting a family. He said that neither one of them liked children and did not plan on having any. I asked if they had divulged this to their minister prior to the marriage. He said his minister had no problem with this at all. I was shocked!

Most Baptists don’t view children as a necessary part of marriage.
