I do a lot of pre-marital counseling - and ALL of the couples (BTW - I am still holding the 100% mark - every couple I have joined in Holy Matrimony is still married - going on 12-years and 20 couples now!) that I have counseled have said they definitely wanted kids, - sometimes it seemed like having kids would be the biggest mistake I could imagine, to be honest...as an outsider looking in. Some of those couples have been so "blessed" - and some have not. There seems to be no "happiness factor" for either set of couples due to having or not having children. As for me and my wife - we wanted NO KIDS - ever - no how, no way!!! And it's not that we don't love OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS!! We do - and we especially love that they go home with their own mom and dad!! But both of us truly love our callings (she's a CPA and a noted local equestrian) - and - we are passionate about what we do "for a living". Kids....well, they just would not fit the program. Besides - PK's (Pastor's Kids) always end up all screwed up! PapeToaTane [email protected] "The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers."
