Is It okay for married couples not to have children?

[tonychanyt]

As a general rule, Genesis 1:

28 God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth’

Psalm 127:

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Proverbs 17:

6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.

1 Timothy 5:

14 So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander.

It is good to have children. It is the usual practice. According to Paul, marriage and children go together.

On the other hand, there are some cases of bad news. Jesus said in Luke 12:

52 From now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three.

Matthew 26:

24 he said that it would’ve been better if Judas had never been born.

Is It OK for married couples not to have children?

I think so but that is not the usual practice.

1 Corinthians 10:

31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

See also Sex is not only for procreation.

As usual, I am not the oracle of God. I am merely expressing my own interpretation and opinion.
