SIGN of the TIMES:Harvard Professor: Children Spoil Happiness

'The Scriptures teach us that kids are an inheritance of the Lord.'The more kids you have, the sadder you are likely to be. At least that's what Harvard University psychology professor Daniel Gilbert claims.At today's Happiness and its Causes conference in Sydney, Australia, Gilbert concluded having children will send your marital happiness into a downward spiral.Jenny Tyree, associate marriage analyst at Focus on the Family Action, said it's not about short-term happiness."In a Pew poll taken last July, 85 percent of people said that their relationship with their children was their greatest source of fulfillment," she said. "I think that says more about the value of children to their parents" than Gilbert's conclusions.Mitch Temple, director of marriage at Focus on the Family, said, "Children certainly can have a dampening effect on happiness, but it doesn't have to be that way. "The Scriptures teach us that kids are an inheritance of the Lord. They're a gift that God gives us." http://www.citizenlink.org/CLtopstories/A000007389.cfm
