In today’s world it is very important to have a family. For many people, getting married means starting a family and that includes children, but others claim, that becoming a couple is a family enough. Let us consider, who is right?
In my opinion, any family should have children. They are our future. Children care for their parents and help them when they become older. Besides, having and raising children can be a satisfying experience for a couple. Kids with their innocence make parents fall in love with them. Moreover, couples with children are unlikely to feel lonely.
However, there are people who choose not have children, because they want to enjoy their life. They can travel or buy something without worrying about how it will affect their children. Besides, they have fear of not living long enough to raise a child, because he requires a lot of physical, emotional or financial efforts. Additionally, they think they will not be good parents, because they had an unhappy childhood or bad adult role models.
But, I disagree with them. Firstly, a baby is God’s gift to us, so life without children is idle and boring. Secondly, couples with a child try to give him all the best because they are sure it is parents’ duty to make their child happy. Finally, such people appreciate their parents more.
In conclusion, I should say so many people, so many opinions. But I fully agree with Carl Sandburg, who said: «A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on».
