It's cultural. For a lot of people having children is happiness. My mother would say about as much-- "children are happiness in life". She came from the previous generation in India, incidentally. Compared to many from the current generation(in America where I live) where children are just seen as a choice some people make. A very difficult choice at that-- so many people pick the most "logical" decision and just run DINK households. We love our freedom, and children significantly diminish that for at least 18-25 years
