One of the biggest decision married couples face is how many children to add to

their family. Some may choose one or two kids, while others may want four or more

children.

There are pros and cons to both, but according to a study on happiness in family

life, those who are in larger families are happier. " … members of large families say

they are more satisfied with their lives than others and that they think they have

stronger personal relationships than most people."

With several children in the home, siblings always have someone to play (or fight)

with on a regular basis. They learn how to get along, bounce back after a

disagreement, work together, and learn how to share.

These are life skills! How often do we have to do school projects alongside people

we don't always get along with? How many times have you been annoyed or

frustrated with a coworker? Learning to get along with a variety of personalities, or

at least how to be nice in the face of less than desirable circumstances, will help

your children be successful in life. It's real-world experience from a very young age.
In a home with only a couple of children, parents can more easily do all the

housework alone. In large families, however, teamwork becomes necessary. Mom

or Dad can't do it all alone. Each child has to pitch in to keep the house and family

running. Chores get assigned, and everyone works together to get things

accomplished.

Large families have the advantage of utilizing each family member's strengths in

daily life. Kids come with their own personalities and skills. Some are quiet, some

loud; some are kind and caring, some bold and independent; some may love music

or sports; some kids are culinary gurus, while some may have inventive ideas.

Pulling from everyone's skills can make family life more enjoyable and fulfilling.
