The Church culture and paradigm is to let the children come. Fortunately, my spouse and I have not. Yet...
However, my feelings about having children have changed. I have a lot of things I need to address personally before having children. Not the least of which is an ambivalence-apathy, even-about having children. I'm still trying to figure myself and my own path out.
Now that I have more perspective, I'm not sure that I'm really interested anyway. My spouse feels the other way about it entirely.
Have any of you felt the same way as myself? What did you do? Do you regret having children/not having children?
Having children is the kind of step that you can't really take back (I'm a responsible/committed person-I will leave it at that!). So what do you do if it isn't really what you wanted after all.
I'm confused... What kind of compromises are there for this kind of thing? Not having children would probably be unacceptable to my spouse. How can I start that conversation? Aargh...
