He commanded be fruitful and multiply. Taking this into consideration involves having children. For our species to survive children must be concieved. To have a good and moral society free from anarchy someone must raise the children. The christian beleives this is the wife's duties. With this in mind someone must take care of the children. And that means 24 hours a day. There is a responsiblity in being married. The most important is raising children. The idea of quality time does not exist. What children need is to be with their parents and the more time the better. If not the wife than the husband. This should be commited before and kept during the marriage. If the two cannot agree than they should not have children. I am glad that my mom and dad concieved and raised me so that I can enjoy life now and later. Andy Miller -- Andy Miller ix 0805 1G465
