I will marry him on one condition. If I receive from the Lord to go ahead, I will without blinking eyes. Although, procreation is not the basis for marriage, I would rather marry the one that would give me a child in order to fulfil that the biblical injunction that we should be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it. I am a human, so I will always want to have a child.
The joy of marriage is the fruitfulness. That is the word of God. He said we should multiply and be fruitful. So, if the man is unable, where would the joy come from? How would the joy be full? I will not marry a man that can’t give me a child except that I did not find out before getting into the marriage
I will marry him because God can do all things. Psalm 128 says that He would bless us. Come to think of it, God says in Exodus 23 vs 26 that none shall be barren in the land. I know that God’s word does not fail, so I will marry him. Also in Psalm 127 vs 3, the Bible says, children are the heritage of the Lord. I believe strongly that the God who says that He would give children would do so.
Children are not the only criteria for marriage. I am not only getting married because I want to procreate. Marriage is a union between two people for companionship, mutual understanding and love. If I marry a man because he can give me children and the love is not there, what have I gained? I will get into a marriage because I will have peace, joy and fulfilment from it and not because I would have children.
I cannot dare it because the purpose of marriage procreation. If I won’t get such from a man, there is no need going in there. I know the pains that comes with childlessness. So, why would I get into it with my two eyes open. If I did not know earlier, it is a different thing. On the other hand, if I love a man deeply, I can marry him if the courage is there.
I can live with him in as much as I love him because I believe love conquereth all.
I will stay or still be in the marriage if he is sincere enough to tell me his problem before we get married. Most of the problem of infertility comes from men but they don’t acknowledge it. I could remember one of my neighbours then, that was sent out of the house by her husband because she could not bear a child and the husband re-married. Funny enough, some years later, this woman came with her child to our compound while the ex-husband’s new wife was still childless.
I can’t marry a man who cannot father a child because after love, is children. So, since he can’t give me what I want, I think he should look elsewhere.
I will stay with him provided I can pray for him because what God has joined, let no man put assunder, even childlessness. What is the probability that when I leave him for someone else, the second person won’t have the same problem? So, I will keep praying for him.
I will stay with him on the condition that he will allow me go outside and have children for another man and the children will still bear his name, but if he refuses, then I will leave him and go elsewhere. And I expect him to be happy because I am doing him a favour.
What is your take on this?
