Why do Mormons have large families?
November 19th, 2009
In mormon doctrine, it is a principle that families can be together forever. Mormon doctrine also teaches that we are all children of God and part of our purpose in being here on this earth is to learn godly traits because we each have the potential of becoming a god or goddess ourselves. Becoming parents and rearing children is one of the most selfless, godless acts we can be privy to. We also have the responsibility to bring all the rest of God’s spirit children who are in heaven, waiting to come down and have the chance to live on this earth. That is why many Mormons have large families.
