“Marriage is not the effect of chance or of the blind evolution of natural forces. It is in reality, the wise & provident institution of God. The creator whose purpose was to establish in man this loving design. As a consequence, husband and wife, through a mutual gift themselves specifically & exclusively between them alone, seek to develop that kind of personal union in which they complement one another in order to cooperate with God in the generation and education of new lives.” (Humane Vitae #8)
In this blog of mine, I am gonna express and share my own understanding and on what is responsible parenthood. Might be wondering why I choose this topic?! It is because I am inspired by the responsible parents around me. That they have done their part as parents well and that those too of the irresponsible parents who are supposed to serve good examples to their children were instead bringing them to the evil side and even encourage them to do bad things which is definitely not a work of a responsible parents. Isn’t it?
But what do we mean by “Responsible Parenthood”? If we talk about responsibility in the exercise of the function of parenthood, different aspects are to be considered. They should be with the proper knowledge and observance of their specific functions. It is therefore required in marriage that both husband and wife to have full awareness of their obligations in the matter of responsible parenthood. It should be studied in the light of the various aspects which are inter-related and which serve to justify it. When we speak of their full awareness, this comprises the following aspects: BIOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, ECONOMIC, PHYSCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL. In as much as there have been many interpretations of the term ”responsible parenthood” it should not be adequate safely with family planning whether natural or artificial. Neither should “responsible parenthood” be equated with procreation without due regard to the socio-economic status of the family. Responsible Parenthood in relation to the environmental processes., must be understood in terms of knowledge of and respect to their specific functions which form past of the person. Both of them two should wisely decide on the number of family or how large is their family be going to be so as the number of children they want or wish to have. But we all know that it’s all in God’s decision if what are his plans for you cannot stop him once he had already or time. Responsible parents should strive to provide needs of their family by raising their children in an atmosphere of love and genuine concern, giving them food, if not the best education, and installing in them. Christian values that would guide them in their adult years.
