As we go throughout our lives it is important not only to read and understand these lifestyles and pricipals but to have a further understanding with our lord as we gain them. Jason

I went onto the lds.org website and seached "birth control." The first insert that I clicked on depicted this view: "Birth Control Children are one of the greatest blessings in life, and their birth into loving and nurturing families is central to God’s purposes for humanity. When husband and wife are physically able, they have the privilege and responsibility to bring children into the world and to nurture them. The decision of how many children to have and when to have them is a private matter for the husband and wife." Above the section it states that these sections are: answers to questions about Mormon beliefs What I recieve from this message is that it is our responsibility to bring forth children into the earth. Those who are able have this responsibility. Although they must replinish the earth, it is up to their own ideals and decisions on what is needed for the benefits of their family. I feel though that if we are to choose to not have children then we must use self control and behave as adults. The admonishing of birth control into our wives is not a neccessity, it is a choice to give up power over the ability to have children.
