RE: The Orthodox Christian wedding service includes prayers for many, many children!
So, how’s the population trend of the majority Orthodox Christian countries?
At no time in my life have I wanted children.
When I was a kid I didn’t like kids.
.......t’s hard to live up to for many of us, but there it is!!......
Russia, in particular has some catching up to do from its Soviet, pro-abortion past.
However, I know Serbian Orthodox families with between 4 and 8 children.
The sadist thing about having no children is what one has to face in old age. The number of children you have ladies determines how well you are taken care of in your old age. I know what I’m saying. Pay attention.
A character in one of H. Allen Smith's books (a Texan, come to think of it) said that a man needs three sons: one to get killed in a car wreck, one to turn out sorry, and one to take care of him when he gets old.
They should get at least a four year degree and get established in their career before even thinking about marriage. And then they should wait a few more years before having kids. This leads to them being in their early thirties before the first baby and that is if everything goes exactly right.
When you start having kids in your thirties and spacing them out you will have three children at most. Probably you will only have one or two.
We need to tell young people to marry and have families when they are young and full of energy. So you do not have a bunch of stuff, not important. You can get the stuff later.

Then again, I know someone who has two children. Relations are strained with those children because they’re both so damn liberal. And his daughter-in-law is a real extreme liberal idiot.
He wonders what might happen with him, with his idiotic liberal daughter-in-law being part of the group, who decides whether to put him in a nursing home, or what to do with him if he needs help in old age.
Remember, it’s not just your children, it’s your children’s spouses who are going to be involved in deciding what to do with you.
You may think your daughter will always be loyal to you, but if she’s married and has a family of her own and has a domineering husband, things can change.
Every other country in the Balkans has declining population—many worse than Serbia—including Catholic Croatia!
The Orthodox wedding service does not command having many children—it prays for them! But if one marries in one’s thirties, it’s not likely to happen!
The big problem in the Balkans is poverty—resulting in lots of out-migration. The vile clintonite bombing of Serbia in 1999 exacerbated that problem.
We Americans—who are under the thumb of the vile clintons, obamas, and bidens—are stupid to blame Serbia for the results of its clinton-caused poverty! Long live Orthodox Serbia!
Deep States, plural, are deliberately destroying the nuclear family.
People are allowing them to do it.
Fully Agree!
Marriage favors the woman. A woman can marry a man, then divorce him in few years and take 1/2 of what he has. Its worse when children are in the equation.
No fault divorces have done their wicked work.
We should change the law. Maybe we shouldn't punish the man anymore. It might be time to bring back generous subsidies from the taxpayers. But the catch is this. Once a woman has her third child, she must tie her tubes if she wants to continue to receive benefits.
