Biblical Patriarchy...?[]
I find the bit about "Biblical Patriarchy" to be overstated. That custom follows more the type of church one is associated with. While all healthy Christians try to zero in on God's ideals in those matters, we are not all in agreement to what those ideals are, nor how they should be implemented. As a husband, I can't learn what God expects my wife should be like and somehow strong-arm her into that standard, nor should she with me. I CAN, however, find out God's ideals for husbands are and seek to assimilate them (with His grace), as can my wife for wifely ideals. Adopting the Quiverfull surrender does not change where we are in that process.
Also, some Quiverfull(ers?) will still use some contraception out of medical necessity, just like we would wear a cast out of medical necessity. If you are QF and you are having trouble conceiving, there is a point where you have to consider that God is saying "No" or "Not right now," but don't neglect your overall health in standing on this point. Some reproductive issues are symptoms of more general health concerns and should be looked into even if you end up remaining infertile. In men, impotence can be a symptom of heart or blood pressure problems, for example. --Studio 126 06:01, February 8, 2011 (UTC)
