They have peace and quiet, all they sex they want and money in the bank. Yeah sounds like a punishment to me.

Well, the truth is they COULD very well. The Bible has plenty of examples where God dried up a womb before children and after some children. But, we also have the story of the blind man and the disciples asked "who sinned that he be born blind?"
Where does that leave us? I think it fair to say that not having children is a punishing (not necessarily by God). Women feel less and perhaps men too. But, it is surely a test. Trust in God. Do not lose hope or faith. You might be more important than you know. Adoption. There are so many children at all ages that need and want the love a barren family could give.
Notice we are back at COULD? God could punish you could love. God COULD be asking you to take care of those that are in need. You COULD rise up to the blessing that would flow from that act.

I don't think God punishes people so they can't have kids. I think it is just nature. Not every couple will be able to have kids. Maybe with a different wife or different husband, a person could be a parent. It is just kind of nature when it happens. God hasn't pointed a finger and said: You won't have any kids! If this were the case, murders and people that hate God and commit crimes would never have any kids. It just isn't true.

I don't think its a punishment. There is a reason certain people can't have kids. Maybe they should be the ones that adopt a child. There is a purpose for all of our lives . We need to find out what we need to do to improve our lives and make this world a better place.

No, I don't think so. It is just another condition our bodies may be in. Some have this and that disease or ailment, others can't conceive. If God doesn't bless you with a child of your own, then maybe adoption is what's best for you. God allows many things to happen. sometimes to discipline us, other times to draw us near Him because we've been distant, sometimes no apparent reason at all. Think of Abraham and Sarah. They wanted a child so bad. God promised them a child but because the years passed by without anything happening, they took it in their own hands and messed up pretty good. Eventually, God did bless Sarah with a child.

I can't stress this enough.... Absolutely NOT!
There are many factors which contribute to infertility. Don't believe a word of that sort of condemnation. God wants your trust and love, not your fear.
I know of a bible believing spirit filled Christian couple who were unable to conceive. It was devastating for them. They did everything in their power to have a baby.
In the end, they ended up adopting two beautiful boys who wouldn't have had homes if they hadn't been taken in. It takes a very special couple to take children in.
Please have faith. You may yet conceive, or there may be another plan for you....
blessings :)

No, people who can't have children aren't being punished. I think they are being redirected in their lives, although it's much to their disappointment most of the time.

No, it is God's decision for whether or not you have children. If they are trying for children, but are not having any, that means God doesn't want them to have any. Possibly because he knows the couple can't handle just one child. God sends you as many children as you can handle. And if he sends you none, you can't handle any. So no, it's not true. Leave the decisions to God.

Absolutely not. Having children is a biological function related to body systems that either work properly or don't work properly. Period. It has nothing to do with "sins" committed in the past.
