I was just talking about traditionally why it was considered compulsory to

have children. As devotees , we also have an obligation to allow devotee and

other pious souls the opportunity to take birth, for otherwise how will they

get a chance to be raised in devotee families?!

Yes! Because of this Srila Gaur Govinda Swami says that it is very sinful for

the husband to refuse the wife's desire to have children. However many

children the wife wants, that is how many the husband must give.
