Ten Reasons Why Children Will Bless Your Marriage

In a society that views children as a plague, it is so important to recognize the heart that God has for children and how he intended them to be a blessing to your marriage. Most people will say things like “enjoy your spouse first , then have kids” or “kids are so expensive” or “the romance dies when you have kids” well my friends,  we have found known of these things to be true at all.
I have been married for three years, we have a 20 month old and I am pregnant with our second one. Our son has been nothing but a blessing to us. Yes, some days are hard; yes, you have to change some things, but our son has been a huge blessing to our marriage.
Below are 10 reasons why I believe children in general will bless your marriage!!
1. Children teach you how to better communicate with your spouse.
2. Children teach you how to work as a team (as you are now both responsible for something living together.)
3. Children teach you how to better manage your finances.
4. Children help you reprioritize what is most important.
5. Children further solidify your family.
6. Children teach you how to be childlike and help you learn how to approach God in a childlike manner.
7.Children help you understand the heart of God, as you learn how to parent the way he parents.
8. Children increase your prayer life.
9.Children bring immense laughter and joy into your marriage and family.
10.Children are the living manifestation of the love you and your spouse have.
There are so many other wonderful blessings that come with children. I have learned that God always provides for his children so finances should never be the main reason not to have kids, the most important thing is having a marriage that is solid and two people are emotionally ready, if those things are in place, you will reap the blessings of increase your family. Happy baby making married folks!!
