This trend is called childfree (a couple or family decides not to have a baby). Priest Nikolai Babkin told how the church feels about it.
Batiushka noted that such a wish should be respected. God gave us freedom of choice. Some live without marriage or without children. Someone cannot give birth to a child who is not ready for such an important event morally or financially.
In addition, the priest noted that virginity and monasticism exist in the church. People consciously put their lives in the hands of God, thereby renouncing parenthood. And there is no sin in this, writes IA “Kulik”.
However, it is important to understand the reasons for not wanting to have a child. It can be a negative experience from childhood or selfishness, a desire to simplify one’s life.
Remember that children are a mirror of their parents. Babies, without knowing it, teach adults, show their mistakes, helping spiritual growth.
