I think it depends on the couple. If they don't want kids, then no kids would be best. If they love kids, then they should have as many as they want. Children are great, but they're not all that makes a healthy marriage.

I find that offensive. I never intend on having children and I don't see how that's "sad". I live and work for myself and my fiance.

I think it depends on the individual couple. If a couple doesn't want to have kids, then they definitely shouldn't, because kids deserve to grow up in a home where their parents really want them and care for them. However, if the couple really wants kids, then I don't really think there's a set number that is the best, as long as they're able to support them and love them! I definitely want to have kids one day, and I hope to have 2 or 3. :)

I think they should have as many as they can afford & agree upon. The number is going to be different for everyone. We have 3 girls at this point. They are 7 1/2, almost 6 & almost 3 weeks. We may have one more child, we have not decided yet. We would be happy with the 3 we have or having 1 more.

I agree with you, a married couple can have to kids if its possible 1 boy and 1 girl can do for as long both can be sent to school and all their needs are properly provided. if you are financially capable then you can increase the size of family. the best thing is to provide not only the physically need but as well the other needs (emotional, physchological, etc.) of the children.

The number of children should be planned accordingly by the couple it is for them to decide how they manage to raise their child. The stability of the couples income and resources are factors to consider.
It is not advisable for married couple to have more children that they cannot afford to raise.
