Is a Christian couple free to take steps to avoid ever having any children? The issue here is one of motive: Wrong motives for being childless:
1. The world is over-crowded.
2. The world is too corrupt.
3. “We don't like kids!”
4. “We want the money and time to spend on ourselves.”
Right motives for being childless:
1. If there is good reason to believe the parents would pass on a genetically fatal disease.
2. If you are physically able to have kids but physically unable to raise and nurture them.
3. If children would impede a clear call to ministry (missionaries).
4. If you are financially unable to provide for them (but this is only legitimate for delaying the bearing of children, not for not having any at all, ever).
