The problem is your saying it "could" and this is a dangerous line to even TRY to judge. I don't think your suited to judge it, or attempt to analyze it. For two reasons. 1) you aren't a professional psychologist and 2) you aren't a parent.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

The desire to be a parent actually comes from the Lord as He is our Father.
Originally posted by SpartacusI'm not saying that the desire to be a parent is wrong in itself, but that it is possible for it to become unhealthy. The desire for food, for example, is not bad in itself, but it can become unhealthy: it is then called gluttony.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

And I repeat myself. Your again acting as though something specific that comes from God and is totally inborn may become sinful when its not something you've ever been through, had to go through or have experience with. That's the problem with the argument right there.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
