    I am sure many people with physical and mental disorders have these type of mature discussions. With that said though, a Catholic marriage must include the openness to have children.

      My father is bi polar. I went through bad depression for a couple years in my twenties but pulled myself out but I’m more educated than my father and studied psychology for 4 years.

    There's nothing wrong with adopting children instead of having biological children. My cousin and her husband adopted a baby who was in fragile health and had a biological mother who wasn't able to support her. They saved someone's life, but for some reason, couples who don't have biological children are shamed for it. It makes me sick.

    There are many, many problems that are genetic. I was born with congenital glaucoma and I was blind at six months, with my vision later partly restored by surgery. But my life has been an endless series of doctor's visits, medical exams, and eye surgeries (at least two dozen to date, with another scheduled for January 25). Congenital glaucoma is highly hereditary. (My grandmother had it.) But one can live a good life, even a great life, with a handicap. I never once thought about the possibility that I could bring handicapped children into the world and should therefore remain single. That would almost be like saying I would be better off not having been born myself. Through the grace of God, my wife and I have nine healthy children and five healthy grandchildren.

    I’m bipolar, and I’m not Catholic, but I am very open about the fact that I’m scared to have a biological child. Both to pass it on and have it being pregnant the same time as I’m taking meds. I don’t know what the path will look like for me because I’m single.
    But I definitely relate to the videos of bipolar disorder being hard in relationships. Being bipolar and being in a serious relationship is really hard.
    It’s very stressful being in mania and then being in depression ❤. I’m very nervous about what my future looks like and I desire marriage but it’s something that I’m really trying to be safe about and make sure I’m compatible with the right person and not just trusting my feelings

    That is good that you still want to have kids even though you have bipolar. As long as you are treating it that’s the main thing and that goes for any illness. So since your Catholic and now married I’m guessing you don’t use birth control? I am orthodox and dont want to use birth control. I am engaged. Not sure what to do when we are married.

We had two children who are healthy adults. One of my children now has a beautiful child of their own. You never know what contribution that child will bring to this world.

    Since you're Catholic, I kind of guessed you'd want kids. Still, it must've been a difficult journey coming to that decision. Of course, medication for things like bipolar hasn't always existed, so I wonder why the Church has held for so long that adherents must have children. Anyway, thank you for another lovely chat, I always appreciate the education you offer on bipolar and mental health topics.

      Just wanted to clarify that we Catholics are called to be open to life. We aren’t forced to have children. We are called to be open to life. The purpose of marriage is for the good of the spouse and to procreate and educate children. There’s no requirement of how many children you must have. We receive each child as a gift from God and they are His children we get the privilege of caring for while they are here on earth.

I have an older sister in a faithful Catholic marriage who has never been able to have children of her own and adopted three beautiful children. We must simply accept with gratitude the life God invites us to share with Him.

      Bc it’s natural law, when you have sex you have children most of the time, that’s what God planned since the beginning. Sin in the world created horrible things and illnesses but God never changes and so His laws and Word never changes either.

      @brianfarley926 Год назад

      It’s the openness to life and part of marriage where 2 people become one. Sex isn’t just about pleasure that’s a component for sure but we are also ordered naturally to re produce within the bounds of a sacramental marriage so we should be open to life if God wills that for us. Not place our will above his will.

    If you are twenty, the chances of your first child having trisomy 21 is 1 / 10 000.
    If you are forty, it's to 1 / 100.
    Your husband's age compounds this _by_ 11 % for each decade he's above 35.
    This means, I'm multiplying, if I marry, my wife's risk by 1.21 now ...

      Ableism is discrimination in favor of able-bodied people. Before you comment on people posts, maybe do some research into bipolar disorder and the subject at hand. People live normal lives & function with the correct medicine. I’m more stable than some of my friends without bipolar disorder.

      Although this is a Catholic youtube channel, Lizzie is a very practical and intellectual woman. She lists many reasons as to why she will remain open to life in her marriage. She feels confident that she can help her children through their bipolar due to her own experiences, knows of the medications that work on herself, knows the medical treatments will be better by the time her kids are teenagers, and believes her kids won't suffer brain damage because she will look for early symptoms and make sure they get diagnosed and put on medicine in time.
