| 0:19.6 | we're back 88-9149-9149 Feel free to call that number now because we do have a |
| 0:24.8 | line or two open and you won't get a busy signal. And if you want to send me an email, my address is |
| 0:29.8 | Patrick at Relevantradio.com. This is an email that comes in from, I'll just say Will, and he's in California, and the subject |
| 0:41.6 | line is she doesn't want kids. |
| 0:44.6 | We've been married for two years, married in the Catholic Church. |
| 0:47.2 | Now my wife says that she's changed her mind and doesn't want kids. |
| 0:51.4 | She was eager to have kids when we got married. |
| 0:53.3 | Help. Well, I can't help |

| 1:35.0 | act. Pretty confident she doesn't mean that. So then what does she mean? You should ask her, |
| 1:40.9 | well, what do you mean them? Because if you want to live as husband and wife |
| 1:45.1 | with the things that married people do, that inevitably tends to lead toward procreation. So if you're |
| 1:52.6 | not interested in procreation, what are you proposing, my dear? And if she's proposing to go on the |
| 1:58.9 | pill or some other form of contraception or something, |
