Strange, aren't we

I was thinking the other day about how some married people complain about being married; you know the men making comments about the ole ball and chain and women saying how horrible their husbands are and how they never help around the house. I thought about how funny marriage is because no one forces us into it. Actually men come to their girlfriend bearing gifts and asking to get married. So they ask to be chained and then they complain about it. The same with women; they knew their boyfriend had all bad habits before they got married but they did it anyway. It's the same, I think with having children. If someone told you that you wouldn't sleep, that you would have to wash more clothes, wash more dishes, spend more money and not on yourself, I'm sure that you would take a pass. But if someone told you that all those things come along with an unexplainable joy that will make your heart grow 5 sizes, I'm sure you would reconsider. We elect to make the changes in our lives I believe because that is how God has created us. Although marriage is a challenge and having children is wonderful and stressful all at the same time, I think we have to have these things prewired in us to want them otherwise everyone would stay free and single!
