We've been asked this question numerous times not only by unbelievers, but , sadly, by Christians as well.
I thought I should try to see how many answers I can give them next time they ask.
1. We believe God to be true to His Word in Psalm 127:3.
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
2. We understand one of the purposes of marriage.
And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. Malachi 2:15
3. Another promise from God.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. I Timothy 2:15
4. We love children. Especially the ones God gave to us.
5. It's natural. :)
6. It's good for our marriage.
7. It's good for us individually. Raising a child is sanctifying work.
8. Children make life fun.
9. It's good for the children.
10. It's good for others.
11. We look forward to having numerous descendants. We'll be content to have 10 grandchildren from each of our children. :)
12. Nothing compares to the love a child has for his parents.
13. Children teach us so many things.
14. Don't worry. We actually do know what causes it. And that's one of the fun reasons for having more, too. :)

Wonderful reasons, Freida! Hubby and I just got asked today if we have a tv. AGAIN! What a tragedy when people look at four children and don't see that they are a blessing! Birth control was only recently legalized, yet they act like it was the norm for centuries! Thankfully, we have God's word to guide us; I am so thankful for my four littles!
