There are some cultural assumptions and influencers in the undercurrent of this issue. Questions about acceptable behavior arise, and it seems expectations play a bigger role than we'd care to admit or believe.

If it wasn't for birth control, my husband and I would  probably have  6-10 kids. I have wondered if I've stopped God's blessing sometimes...but I also realize that my plate is full. Planning is a blessing. I live in a time where a lot, even a person's existence, can be shaped by my control. So, I encounter that for a minute....and WOW. That's sobering! It's weighty. I'm not sure I'm ready to absorb what that means.

What happens when we think we can, and we do exert such control?
...much more than we first assume...
