wow who would have thought about this. I know this is true as my own daughter married at 20 to a doctor md and he was 29 and she delayed having babies until 11yrs later in her marriage and only had 3 babies. she was the oldest of our children and our only girl of 4 brothers. I was shocked when she decided to wait and didnt have to because of financial problems. I remember though in the 1980's women were waiting to marry until their 30;s and 40's and then started having kids and of course only 1 or two. when I was younger a baby boomer we were told over and over that we needed to only have 2 and if we had more which I did they the believers of that kind of family of 2 would tell me that my extra child was taking up their air or oxygen. we were told that we were over crowding the world . then a few years later we noticed and talked about how baby shampoo was being sold to adults and we realized not enough babies were being born to use that market enough to make it profitable..well, I think its the ebb and flow of money..what makes money and what doesnt..also about scares of one kind or another because of the lack of belief in God..I think our world now does have believers in God and Jesus but not as many as before.
