Homes should have children-but not too many! The number of children a couple will have is a personal matter, but it should be influenced by health, economic resources, and the world situation. Without any children, civilization would become extinct. Overpopulation is also a threat to human existence. Scientists are concerned about the balance in nature-between plants and animals, which are interdependent-and the problem of future production of adequate food for a doubled world population. Millions of people starving now or are experiencing malnutrition and subhuman existence because of insufficient diet. What will the situation be in twenty-five years if the world population doubles as predicted?

It is normal for couples to want and to have a children. God planned for children to be born when He built into the bodies of both man and woman as elaborate reproduction system. God commanded man and woman to reproduce: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it". He place within the natures of man and woman the sexual desire which assures that they will mate. The most intimate and exquisite experience of true love is associated with the conception of children.

A primary purpose of marriage is to provide homes into which children can be born and nurtured. Homes without the blessings of boys and girls are empty. The father naturally longs for a son to love, train, and bear his name and a daughter to perpetuate the characteristics of his wife. The mother craves a child to cradle as her own looks forward to the time when her daughter and son will be old enough to appreciate the wealth of her love. Parents share in their children's joys as well as in their disappointments. They sacrifice in providing for their children, and thus, demonstrate unselfish love. They share in the instruction of their children and feel a sense of accomplishment when they succeed. Parents experience guilt and despair when they conclude that their neglect has contributed to the failure of a child.

Parents live are extended through their children. Their influence, teachings, and name are perpetuated through their descendants.
