Question I am curious as to the Church's view or support (or lack of) regarding someone's decision not to have children. I have always had the impression that the Church believes it is a duty or requirement to procreate.

Response The doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding your question is that it is pleasing in the sight of the Lord for married individuals to have children, if they are physically and emotionally able to do so. Our church leaders have also clearly stated the absolute necessity of a man and a women to raise their children in a home filled with righteousness and love and where Christ centered principals are taught. The number of children and the spacing between them is a matter of personal decision.

A home which is Christ centered, value centered and a loving environment for those children, is a great necessity. This cannot be stressed enough.

Sincerely,

Donny Osmond
