Hello, hello, how's it going? Hey, how are you doing? Good, good, good, good, good. All right, so yeah, we're doing a public call today, so just remember, if you could, to stay off names and places. And I'm all ears. How can I best help? I mean, do you want to read your message? You want to jawbone it? What's your pleasure? Well, I'll just start off by kind of reiterating where we've talked before. So my name is, this is a pseudonym, but I'll be Jim. My wife's name is Jane. We reached out separately. So I reached out in November of this year. We were, had a pretty rocky time in our relationship. We have five kids. I work from home for the most part.

I think we have a very good marriage, but we've been running into things that we want to work on.

My wife called you separately as well, not too long after I called you. And then we had a group

conversation together. So her and I and you talked together.

And you had left us with some homework.

So just to kind of jog your memory,

you had recommended that I read the disowned self

by Nathaniel Brandon.

So we've kind of been working on that.

Hopefully that kind of brings you back to who we might be.

Yep, got it.

Okay.

So the reason we're reaching out today is because we're running into an area of our marriage

where we continually have the same reoccurring problem.

And that's in our sex life.

And what I find is difficult is that we, or I feel as though we can't have any real communication

when it comes to sex.

So we're practicing Catholics, and that means that we are trying to avoid having more children

at the moment for health reasons.

And so the way that we do that is basically by doing something that's close to the rhythm

method.

So we are only allowed to have sex at times where my wife is not fertile.
