Just because you CAN have children, in way means you HAVE TO have children.
My girlfriend and I both are very much looking forward to having kids in the next couple of years. Not because socitey or our families has talked us into it, but rather because we want to have kids and want to lead that sort of life. I commend those couples who, in the face of persucution and social pressures resist the urge to have children because they feel they have to.
There is nothing sadder than a couple who gets pushed into parenthood only to neglect and resent their child for years and years. Is the child happy, are the parents happy? I think not.
