 Wink Can u have peace of mind when ur two children turns out to be great enemies? It happens. People have different reasons of getting into marriage. In Africa, they desire children more than anything. Why so? These children you are breeding, what impact will they make in life of u & others? Useless children have outnumbered the useful ones. Have you seen a family where the children are not in peace with their parents? The parents will be heartbroken to the extent they'll wish they never had the children. So, what i'm saying in essence is that the reason two people unite in marriage is because they've seen that they love and care for each other and can live together as long as they want. When this love exists, whether the woman is unable to bear children or the man is impotent. This love and care will conquer all. What i'm advising is if u really love your husband or wife and he/she makes u happy, be wit him or her. I suggest u adopt if u can't make babies. There are many children out there who needs family. They'll never leave u in old age as long as u did to them what u'll do for ur children. But, believe me, if u leave that man or woman u love that has this problem and get married elsewhere for children. You'll have those children you want but does that really mean you have the perfect or your dream family? Pls, I'm not here to say that children are not important in a family but i'm here to correct the impression people have about it in marriage. Marriage is between u and ur husband, children come last. What will be their fate if u divorce? What'll be their fate when u and ur husband are not in good terms? Therefore, marry for love and not because u want children. Nevertheless, have the number of children u have the capability of bringing up.

Eva. you've spoken well for a childless marriage, much as u'v equally been lenient  to the men folk.
A lot of u women are weathered with d idea that the female is to blame for a childless marriage hence your post's been littered with advantage for the man.
That aside, children exerts the love in marriages. soon after the fires of affection, curves and physical attributes begin to fade, the joint effort at parenting and joys there from endures and keep the marriage going tru thick & thin.
Wayward children are results of bad upbringing, and to suggest that having one outside wedlock could go wrong adds no salt to your argument.
Everything said, the world as we have it today there's no word like bareness in a marriage. It's a state of mind, and science already conquered it. Worst case scenario, couples will find a surrogate mother for their unborn child.

There are four types of love that MUST be present at the same time in any marriage and love relationship to make a complete marriage. When ANY of these loves are missing, it leaves a gapping hole in the relationship. (Strive to keep these four types of love active in your marriage. It will keep it secure!)
 
A marriage relationship is built over a lifetime. There are four kinds of “love” needed to make a marriage relationship complete. They are AGAPE, PHILEO, STORGE, and EROS. All are essential in a marriage.

The highest form of these types of love is agape. Agape love is an unconditional love. It loves when all other types of love quit, and cares when there is no apparent reason to care. This love comes from God into a person when they ask Jesus to come into their heart and to be their Lord and Savior.

People make friends with others according to the kind of car they drive or what kind of clothes they wear, or their status in society. The agape love of God goes past the surface, enabling us to look deep into our mate’s heart and love them for who God has made them to be despite their faults and shortcomings.

Phileo love is the kind of love that makes agape love enjoyable. Phileo love is having tender affection toward your mate. Most friendships are built on phileo love. Phileo love is that “something” that you see in another person that draws you to be their friend. It’s one thing to unconditionally love (agape) someone who you don’t like to be around because they irritate you. It’s quite another thing to unconditionally love someone who is tenderly affectionate (phileo) toward you. THE TENDER AFFECTION OF PHILEO LOVE MAKES THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF AGAPE ENJOYABLE. It’s the joy of the friendship!


God’s desire for the husband and wife is that they tenderly love (phileo) each other while they overlook each other’s faults and failures (agape).

Another kind of love needed in a marriage is storge. Storge is a physical show of affection that results from a pure motive. It may be a hug, a kiss, or another expression of genuine affection. Because males are different than females, the wife usually needs this kind of love more from her husband. It is important for the husband to set aside his need of companionship and meet his wife’s main need, which is affection

Eros love is needed to make a marriage. Eros is the fulfillment of the physical segxwal desire that a husband and wife show toward each other. It’s when “...the two ...become ONE FLESH” (Matthew 19:5).

When all four types of love operate in a marriage, the marriage is complete. A picture of a complete marriage is a husband and wife who lay down their life for each other (agape love) no matter how many times the other offends them or causes them to have ill feelings. They both have tender affection toward each other (phileo love). They enjoy each other’s company because they’re best friends. Because they enjoy each other so much, they hug, kiss, hold hands and do nice things for their mate (storge love). Because their hearts are filled with agape, phileo and storge, a warm passionate desire arises within both of them to enjoy each other segxwally (eros). Now, that kind of God-centered marriage will weather ANY storm.

We must nurture and protect ALL of these different kinds of love in our marriage. Negligence of any kind of love leaves a gaping hole in our relationship. To show you the significance and impact of this on our relationship, let’s remove one type of love at a time and see how incomplete the other three are alone.
