In the past, many got married for sex and thus for personal fulfillment. Nowadays, many don't see a need to get married to get sex. Yet, whether married or not, people were not being personally fulfilled. How do marriage, sex, and personal fulfillment come together, if at all?Hi, my name is Terence, and I'm your host for Reading and Readers, a podcast where I review Christian books for you. Today I review “Married for God: Making Your Marriage the Best It Can Be” by Christopher Ash. 176 pages, published by Crossway in August 2016. Available via Amazon Kindle for USD10.16 and via Logos for USD10.79.Christopher Ash is Writer-in-Residence at Tyndale House in Cambridge. He is a full-time preacher, pastor, teacher, and writer. According to Amazon, he has 40 titles and there is one tantalising title I would like to read, “The Book Your Pastor Wishes You Would Read (but is too embarrassed to ask)”. But that is a book for another day.Today I review Ash's book on marriage.Anyone who intends to get married should go for a pre-marriage counselling course. I say this even to non-Christians. And if you are reluctant to sit down with a pastor, you should get a book to go through together.Marriages include arguments. I could also say many marriages end with arguments. The tragedy is some of those arguments could have been avoided. When one says, “My dream is to have children.” And the other shocked says, “But dear, I don't intend to have children.” This is a conversation they should have had before they got married.For Christians such conversations is ever more important because God does not approve of divorces. If the marriage is not working, the biblical answer is: make it work.Today's book is not just helpful for those about to get married.If you have been married long, this book will strengthen your marriage.Bizarrely, if you are single, this book will also strengthen your single life. More on that later.Let's open the book.In the introduction, the fundamental statement put to us is:> We ought to want what God wants in marriage.Ash later on continues:> ... when we ask what God wants, we are asking what is best for us. What is best for us is not what we want, but what he wants. When I ask what God wants for marriage, I am saying that I want my marriage to cut with the grain of the universe.Wow. Your love for one another, this private connection between a man and a woman is part of a cosmic design.If you have never considered marriage in that light, there is more to come. In fact whatever you think marriage is, put that aside. Make a commitment to hear from God first. So if whatever God says goes against what you think marriage is about, go with God. This is how Ash ends the introduction chapter, with a call to repentance.## Baggage and GraceBut what happens if God, who is awesome and holy, wants what I don't want? What if, in the light of his holiness, he exposes me? The part I have kept hidden from family and friends, and frankly, intended to keep hidden from my future spouse?And so Christopher Ash, theologian and pastor, right at the start has a chapter titled, “A Word about Baggage and Grace”. I will just read the section headings and you will see why you need not fear God's will for you.1. The Bible Speaks to Those Whose Sexual Pasts Are Spoiled2. Jesus Christ Offers Forgiveness and Restoration To Those With Spoiled Sexual Pasts3. God's Grace Enables Us to Live Lives of PurityThe chapter ends with six questions and discussion points. Let me read question 4.Question 4:> If you are (or may one day be) married, what kind of “baggage” do you think you bring into marriage, in your thinking and expectations?If you are reading this book on your own, that is great for your self-reflection, but what about your fiance? The temptation here is to think he or she doesn't need to know your past. But your past, whether you want to or not, in one way or another, will affect the marriage.But if you share your deepest darkest secrets, what happens if your fiance cancels the wedding? Or what if one day she takes this painful part of your life and throws it in your face?The fear bubbles up and chokes, and tempts you to do what you have always done. Hide."Hahhaha... question 4 is asking about baggage? I guess my baggage is I once forgot my baggage at the airport."The couple laughs. Love makes lame jokes funny. Quick! Let's read the next chapter before something ruins the moment.It takes courage to answer soul-baring questions. It takes wisdom to navigate this treacherous waters, which is why I encourage couples to invite their pastor into pre-marriage discussions.A good and experienced pastor will establish a safe space and frame the discussion to ensure that the couple does not dwell on the baggages but eventually move on to the next part: what comes after question 4, I quote:> Pause to bring this “baggage” quietly before God. Pray through the truth of grace in this chapter and ask God to put them deep in your heart. Claim the forgiveness and cleansing of Christ for your past.After this point, you have: 1) responded to the call to repent and 2) received the gift of grace. No matter how dirty and unworthy you think you are, you need Jesus. No matter how clean and pure you think you are, you also need Jesus. You are now ready to read Chapter 2: Married for a Purpose.Chapter 2 is a good example of what to expect from the rest of the book. So I will spend most of my time here, then quickly outline what to expect from the rest of the book, share two criticisms, and finally conclude the book review.## Married For a PurposeAsh starts each chapter with a story. This is how he starts Chapter 2.> Laura felt lonely and bitter. She and Andy had been married for four years now. She thought back to their wedding day, which had been amazing.Fast forward to the last paragraph of the story.> To be honest, marriage for Laura was really not all it had been cracked up to be. It really didn't match the description on the tin, or not the description given her by that pastor. And in her bitterness she wondered if there was really any point in keeping it all going, if the rest of her life was going to be like this. What was the point?Ash tells us the standard Christian answer: The point of marriage is to have children, to demonstrate faithfulness, and to preserve social order.Ash then does my favourite thing, which is to open up the Bible. He expounds first from Genesis 1:26-31, which includes these familiar verses: “God created man in his own image, ... male and female he created them” and “God saw everything that he had made, and it was very good.”But I bet you have never heard his interpretation before. As he unpacks the verses, he eventually reaches a conclusion. The marriage motto is sex in the service of God.“That can't be right! Marriage is more than sex!”Ash already knows what's going through our minds so I will let him deflect our indignation.> Like all mottos, this simplifies my point. I do not mean to suggest that marriage is only about sex. But it is sex that distinguishes marriage from any other friendship or partnership. By “sex” in this motto, I mean a shorthand for the whole of marriage as it develops and grows out of its heart and core of sexual intimacy and faithfulness. Sex is shorthand for the marriage relationship in all its fullness: in intimacy, friendship, partnership, fun, and faithfulness. The motto is to remind us that the whole business of marriage in all its fullness is to be lived in the loving joyful service of God, as we look outward from our marriages and as couples seek to care for God's world together.The big insight is not ‘sex'. Until recently, everyone knew that sex and marriage came as a package. The big insight is in the words ‘in the service of God', which he explains further.The next passage is Genesis 2:15-25. This contains the must read verses on marriage, “It is not good that the man should be alone” and also “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”Interestingly, Ash tells us how Genesis 2:18 is wrongly understood. The text says, “It is not good that the man should be alone” but does Adam being alone mean he was lonely?Ash makes this distinction and draws out the implication. If Adam was lonely, then this verse means God designed marriage to solve loneliness. But what does that mean for single men and women? Or even the married men and women who still feel lonely.Ash writes:> For those who are married, their marriages ought indeed to be places of fellowship that are remedies for loneliness. But marriage is not the remedy for loneliness. Wherever there is fellowship there is God's remedy for loneliness. Not all human beings are able to marry, but all human beings are invited into fellowship with God and with one another in Jesus Christ.I like how Ash puts it here:> This irony, that we expect so much of marriage but find it disappointing, is an irony the Bible understands perfectly. It calls it idolatry.But if Adam was not lonely, but was as the verse says, alone. Then, reading that verse in the wider context, we see that Adam was alone in his task to care for the garden. So God created Eve so that Adam was not alone. And they were to have children who have more children, all in order to take care of God's creation. Ash writes:> Surprisingly, the key to a good marriage is not to pursue a good marriage, but to pursue the honor of God. We need to replace this selfish model of marriage with one in which we work side by side in God's “garden” (that is, God's world), rather than gaze forever into each other's eyes.## The Rest of the BookLet me read the titles for the remaining chapters along with my short comments.Chapter 3: What is the Point of Having Children? Many couples who struggle with this will find an answer here.Chapter 4: What is the Point of Sex and Intimacy? A good read for soon-to-be married for those long married and also for singles.Chapter 5: God's Pattern for the Marriage Relationship. It's not obvious what this chapter is about so let me quote something from this chapter. I quote:> I was reading a book of marriage services for Christians from different denominations and noticed that the list of suggested Bible readings omitted the only three readings in the New Testament which are directly addressed to husbands and wives (Eph. 5:22–33; Col.3:18–19; 1 Pet. 3:1–7). This would have struck me as curious, except that all three Bible passages tell wives to submit to their husbands, and I am sure were omitted because the compilers simply could not stomach this teaching.As a young man, I too could not stomach this teaching because, you know, equal rights. God's command for the wife to submit has been used by abusive husbands to abuse their wives. But when I learnt to read it in context in consideration with what the Bible as a whole says about submission, I can see God's design for marriage. But it wasn't easy to overcome years of social programming. Hence, the call to repentance; to make a commitment to God's Word first.As one man against the world, Ash has to clearly show submission in marriage is truly God's pattern. And we need to break out of what we think it looks like and consider what it truly looks like. It is not God's design for the husband to be a tyrant and the wife a mouse, nor is it God's design for the wife to be bossy and the husband to abdicate his responsibility. If you think otherwise, repent!Chapter 6 is titled “What is the Point of the Marriage Institution?” It answers the wider society questions like, “Why marry when you can just live together?”Chapter 7 is a pleasant surprise in a book about marriage. It's not a question a pastor would obviously ask in a pre-marriage counselling: “Is it Better to Stay Single?” If the couple is a high-risk for cold feet, this question could make one (or both) run. On the other hand, this much needed perspective on marriage could help both make an informed decision with a happier outcome.Chapter 8 asks, “What is the Heart of Marriage?” Oh, what would be your answer? God, Jesus? Ah, the safe Sunday School answer. Not wrong, but not what Ash has here. Love? Close.As Christopher Ash puts it beautifully:> ... the reason that faithfulness lies at the heart of marriage is that faithfulness lies at the heart of God, and therefore at the heart of the universe. Those of us who are married are called to keep the covenant promises of marriage, because God keeps his covenant promises.With that whirlwind run through the book, let me mention two criticisms to round up the review.## CriticismsThe first is from Chapter 3, “What is the Point of Having Children?” Here, he makes a strong and powerful biblical case for children. I am just not sure whether he has over-reached. I quote:> If you regard children as a curse and don't want them, don't get married!From a Christian perspective, whether married or not, obviously we must not see children as a curse.I just wonder whether if a couple comes to him and do not to have children, not because of exceptional circumstances, but simply as a matter of choice, would Ash tell them not to get married?My second criticism is from Chapter 6, “What is the Point of the Marriage Institution?” In arguing against co-habitation, does he over-simplify his analysis? I quote:> ... sex outside marriage is always sex “under law” (as it were): always seeking to prove, always striving to do well enough to keep the other one in the relationship, always anxious lest at any time the other may decide there is not enough in it for him or her, always under trial.For context, Ash is making the contrast with sex within marriage which is “sex under grace”. There is no pressure to keep the relationship going with good sex because the relationship is secured by a vow to God and to one another.But when Ash says that sex outside marriage is always seeking to prove, always striving to do well, always, always, always, I can imagine a co-habitating couple scrunching their forehead saying, “No. That is not true.”They go on to describe their sexual relationship as a give-and-take, learning to love one another with their bodies, in language and tones similar to a married couple's. So while I completely agree with Ash's distinction between “sex-under-grace” vs “sex-under-law”, I think some co-habitating couples would not recognise his description as valid since they practise a resemblance of sex-under-grace.And so, I think Ash missed an opportunity to present a more nuanced commentary here. Could he have angled his comments so that some of those co-habitating couples who think whatever they have is good and great, sees that what they have is merely a resemblance, not the reality of what is good. Good as in God is good. Good as in Grace is good.Before I conclude, I have to tell readers what you don't get in this book. You don't get an in-depth discussion on how to manage financials as a couple. Or how to effectively communicate. Or how to resolve conflicts. Or despite the motto being "sex in the service of God", there is no how to have great sex. For that, you have to look at other books.This is not a criticism of Ash's book. What he set out to do, he achieved them brilliantly. This book explains how marriage is for God. And truly, while everything else is important, none is more important than knowing marriage is for God.Let me end this review by quoting my favourite passage in the book. This passage reminds me of the purpose of my own marriage and makes me want to do better for God.I quote:> ... I like to think that men and women may say to themselves as they watch a Christian marriage: “I have never seen God. Sometimes I wonder, when I look at the world, if God is good, or if there is a God. But if he can make a man and woman love one another like this; if he can make this husband show costly faithfulness through sickness as well as health; if he can give him resources to love when frankly there is nothing in it for him; well, then he must be a good God. And if he can give this wife grace to submit so beautifully, with such an attractive gentle spirit under terrible trials, then again he must be a good God.” If you are married or preparing for marriage, pray that others may be able to say this of you in the years ahead.## OutroThis is a Reading and Reader's review of “Married for God: Making Your Marriage the Best It Can Be” by Christopher Ash. 176 pages, published by Crossway in August 2016.

"Artist and author, and a freelancer for over 25 years. Based in the Netherlands, in love with the UK. Been with my partner for almost 9 years (who's also childfree). In 2016 I wrote an article about not wanting to have children for a Belgian magazine, which went viral online. I got asked to write a book on it but wanted to wait a few years until I understood how I felt exactly, and I wanted to do a lot of research on this topic. I had already been reading up on the topic for quite a few years by then, but dove in deeper since then. I questioned over 250 people (mostly women) about being childfree, and did in-depth interviews with 12 women for my book. I've read pretty much every article I could find online on this topic, and researched sexism and feminism related to child bearing. Since my book was published in November 2023 (Kinderen krijgen is optioneel / Having children is optional) I've done many interviews, and am contacted regularly by the Dutch media as a consultant on the childfree topic. My main viewpoint is that everyone should be free to make the decision of becoming a parent, but I strongly believe everyone should mindfully think about it before making a decision. I also believe you should consider the life of your unborn child before getting pregnant, because this is a choice that goes beyond 'do I want kids?'. It isn't about you, it's about the human you're putting on this earth." ___ Get my FREE Kids or Childfree Response Guide: www.kidsorchildfree.com/responseguide And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review The Kids or Childfree Podcast if you love what you're hearing!

Passage: 1 Samuel 1:4-11, 17-20 Sermon Notes: Intro: 1. Rhythm of prayer is to dive into deeper intimacy with God in prayer and then responding to it towards the various areas of our lives. 2. We will dive into the area of prayer for our family, through Hannah's prayer a. Understanding Hannah's Pain b. Seeing the Change in Her Heart Understanding Hannah's Pain vs 4-8 1. Hannah's Pain came from her oppressive culture a. Having Children was a matter of life and death b. Therefore, the pressure on a woman to conceive was enormous c. We still live in an oppressive culture i. Maybe it's not as family oppressive as it once was, but it's more individualistically oppressive. 2. The only way to escape the cultural idol system of your particular culture is by having God more important to your heart. Prayer Point: 1. Some of us need to be hearing from God at this moment. For a lot of us comes from collective family culture that puts unbelievable amount of pressure on us. Maybe instead of hating and unforgiving we should be empathetic and forgiving—knowing that they are a product of their culture. 2. Some of us needs to start hearing from God on whether our attitudes and actions towards our family is just another response to a new individualistic culture that's driving and oppressing us now. Seeing the Change in Her heart vs 9-11 1. Hannah Stood Up a. The word carries with it the connotation, “to take action” b. She wasn't going to be passive anymore—she rejected what her culture was giving her and turned to the one above the culture. Prayer Point 1. Some of us need to start getting into the rhythm of seeing some of these cultural traps in our home. We need to start hearing what God is saying and start standing up and take some actions in response to God! Hannah's Prayer 1. Begins by remembering God's sovereignty and majesty. She's remembering the goodness of God. 2. Her heart changes 3. She offers her child to the service of the Lord a. The focus of this child was not for her identity but rather for God's mission. b. She made God's heart the center of her reason for the child. Prayer Point 1. Maybe today God is telling some of you, your prayers for your family has been too me-centered! 2. Maybe your prayer for your family needs to be where God's mission is the end goal. Conclusion 1. Jesus' act of salvation was not a mirror of the forefathers (David, Samuel, Samson etc), it was a mirror of the fore-mothers (Sarah, Leah, Rahab, Ruth). 2. The women showed that Jesus was not just coming King but suffering servant! a. If we are willing to step into suffering for the name and mission of Christ, we have in Jesus the promise of Salvation to a lot of people!

Having Children, Adults Influence on Kids, Theo Von's Take on Depression, Sauna, Vegas Trip, and More
You may know Ryan Shelton from 'The Imperfects' podcast with The Resilience Project founder Hugh Van Cuylenberg, or you may know him from Rove Live back in the day, or you may know him as Hamish Blake's best mate, or you may just know him for being the hilarious performer that he is! Either way, in today's KICPOD episode Ryan finds the perfect balance between making us laugh and making us think about some of life's toughest decisions. Ryan recently opened up on 'The Imperfects' about being unsure whether to have children or not, so today he delves more into this thought process and where he's currently at with the decision, plus he explains why he's ditched the smart phone and now has a 'dumb phone'. Then to finish, Steph & Laura invite Ryan into 'The Hilaritea House', which is a spin off of his segment 'The Vulnerabilitea House'. 'The Imperfects Tour' is happening from April this year.

Rush to Reason: Bonner Cohen on Opting out of Having Children to Save the Planet by John Rush
3 women, some with, some without human children, all of us wondering whose choices are "better"?
Small Group Questions 1) How did one of these things change your life? a) Moving to another town. b) Getting married (or divorced). c) Having Children d) Leaving a job/Getting fired. e) Other? 2) Have you ever tried to break a bad habit e.g. smoking? How did you do it? 3) Can you describe a person you know whose life was changed for the better? How did that happen? What learning can come from that? 4) Pastor George mentioned two ways we change, a slow process and a fast one. Is there a third? 5) Of the ways we are changed by the Spirit, which one do you see happening in your life most often?

This interview with Korean Adoptee, Sarah Clifton, was conducted by Kyle & Travis Balitz, during the summer of 2020 and was originally released through the Gide Foundation, which is now known as The Adoptee Group. The interview is now re-released through KADStories.com. Sarah, who resides in New Mexico came to visit us here in Minnesota. We believe this interview was so candidly informative and know many adoptees will relate to her struggles in relationships, abuse, self-harm, mental health and raising children. We also want to note here at KADStories, we aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental platform for adoptees to speak out and we ask our viewers to please respect other people's honest stories, opinions, and struggles. Currently Sarah has seemingly found a more healthier partner and has an improved relationship with her daughters, although admittedly still struggles. Perhaps someday we may do a follow up interview with her. - YouTube Video Can Be Viewed Here: https://youtu.be/yir7hmqIR4I ~ Key Topics Covered: 0:14 - Intro 0:51 - Childhood & Adoptive Family 1:37 - School & Bullying 3:33 - Birth Family Search 4:08 - Mental Health Struggles 4:52 - Abuse & Relationship with Family 6:00 - Relationship Patterns 7:40 - Having Children & Parenthood 8:20 - Depression & Substance Use 9:43 - Losing Custody of Kids & Mental Health Issues 10:46 - Hospitalization 12:35 - Jobs & Dreams 13:45 - Birth Family Records 14:35 - Korean Culture Camps 15:05 - Korean Adoptee Groups 15:40 - Advice & Happiness 16:38 - Going to Korea & More Birth Records ~ KONNECT with our KADS: Sarah Clifton: FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/1977UnicornFarts ~ RESOURCES: National Suicide Prevention Hotline 24/7: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) The Adoptee Group: Web site: http://www.theadopteegroup.org Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/TheAdopteeGroup An Adoptee's Guide to Korea FaceBook Page: http://www.facebook.com/AdopteeGuideToKorea ~~~ Interested in sharing your story?

A woman is born with a finite number of eggs that continuously depletes over her lifetime. Women tend to be most fertile in their twenties or early thirties, after which the quality of their eggs decreases. This also means that the possibility of having children - if we want them - becomes harder - but maybe it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of Hush Podcast, Hazelle, Azura and Germaine talk about fertility, social egg freezing and how all of these affect family, life and career.

Changing the World, Authenticity, and It's PossibleIn this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to Jennifer Banwart, U.S. Senate Candidate for North Carolina. Jennifer talks about what it's like running for Senate and what all compelled her to get into politics. She also touches on her college experience and the bold personal decision she made to build herself a valuable foundation. Additionally, we get to hear about Jennifer's experience with the NSA, her decision to leave the government, and how she went from living a private life to being up front in the public eye. QUOTES “Intelligence is messy. People have to be comfortable with that if they're going to thrive in it.” - Jennifer Banwart [46:53] “You can see that if you start to do things in a certain way, other people will start to do things a certain way and eventually you're changing the world. And you have to believe that that is true. It's possible.” - Jennifer Banwart [67:34] “I've always tried to be kind, as much as I could. And sometimes my kindness has been mistaken for weakness and I'm not afraid to come out and show it when I need to. But I've always tried to come from a place of remembering my manners, respecting other people, being humble and believing that there's something bigger than me, but be firm. Be pragmatic, but be firm.”– Jennifer Banwart [71:45] TIMESTAMPS [00:04] Intro [03:09] Shana and Jennifer [06:25] Working for and Leaving the Government [08:36] Family Meetings and Listening [11:03] Growing Up and Family [16:54] Early Interest in Politics [18:34] Deciding on College [21:25] American University [24:17] Nyla Technology Solutions [24:50] Energy and Bob Dole's Campaign [27:57] Transferring to Whitman [32:04] Work After College [35:16] Student Debt [35:54] Meeting Recruiters and Deciding [37:24] Marriage and Having Children [38:17] Interviewing at NSA and CIA [39:10] Jennifer's Career at NSA [44:40] National Counterterrorism Center [46:59] Jennifer's Christmas Card [48:01] Running for Senate [52:13] Moderate Republican [54:27] It's Possible [59:40] Overview of Jennifer's Campaign [67:47] Private Life to Public Eye [70:48] Wrap Up Questions [77:57] Outro RESOURCES https://www.defense.gov/ (U.S. Department of Defense) https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Secretary_of_Defense_Medal_for_Valor (Secretary of Defense Medal for Valor) https://ncsu-las.org/ (Laboratory for Analytic Sciences) https://www.ncsu.edu/ (NC State University) https://www.casio.com/products (Casio) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083413/ (Family Ties) https://www.sesamestreet.org/ (Sesame Street) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066651/ (The Electric Company) https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/ronald-reagan/ (Ronald Reagan) https://joffrey.org/ (Joffrey Ballet) https://www.nyu.edu/ (NYU) https://www.american.edu/ (American University) https://history.house.gov/People/Detail/13850 (Newt Gingrich) https://www.bobdole.org/ (Bob Dole) https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/?ref=logo (Urban Outfitters) https://washington.org/dc-insider-newsletter (DC Insider) https://www.whitman.edu/ (Whitman College) https://www.python.org/ (Python) http://www.sqlcourse.com/intro.html (SQL) https://www.olivegarden.com/home (Olive Garden) https://www.cia.gov/ (CIA) https://www.nsa.gov/ (NSA) https://www.dni.gov/index.php/nctc-home (National Counterterrorism Center) https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelleiter/ (Michael Leiter) https://www.burr.senate.gov/ (Senator Burr) https://www.fec.gov/ (Federal Election Commission) https://www.nelsonmandela.org/ (Nelson Mandela) https://tim.blog/about/ (Tim Ferriss) https://www.cruz.senate.gov/ (Ted Cruz) https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/resource/cold-war-history/vaclav-havel (Václav Havel) RELEVANT LINKS https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenbanwartjen4sennc/ (Jennifer Banwart) on LinkedIn https://twitter.com/jen4sennc?lang=en (Jennifer Banwart) on...

Previous personal history, health, age or economic status often doesn't matter. If sperm fertilizes egg, there is a good chance a baby will be produced. We are created for procreation. Most of the men I know didn't know what kind of father they would be. Some want a lot of kids. Some want only one. Some wonder if they will be good enough. Some wonder if they can afford it. It is a common thought to not have children in this day in age. It has always crazy. It has always been bad. It is always a turbulent time. Kids are born anyway every day. That is the way of the world. Ready or not. Aside from any of that, what do you do after they arrive. it doesn't matter if you are married or not for the biology to occur. Your social status, ethnicity, race, or age doesn't matter as it relates to if it will happen. What do you do after the baby is born? You have to adjust. You have to adapt. You have to change your plans. Children are a game changer. Marriage, which, when done right really helps you raise a good child is not in vogue, not popular and not understood. Do you realize how easier it is to raise a healthy, happy child in a loving home, with shared values, incomes, and goals? Do you realize how great it is not to struggle mentally, physically and spiritually as some do? Marriage is not the answer for everyone but it is not what folks are doing these days that we call marriage either. Marriage is not the magic pill. You must be mature. You must be close to the same page. You must communicate. You must want to grow. And on top of it all there are people that use children to live. They use welfare like a career path. They have them so they will be supported financially by the state or you for the rest of their lives. There are those that think all they want is the child they don't want you. They like your genes. You are reduced to being a sperm donor. You'll make a pretty baby, they think. One of the truly crazy things in today’s culture is that crazy behavior is supported. You will find groups and organizations that promote and give advice to behavior that is detrimental to a child. But let’s say, no matter what your situation is, you are father. How do you become a dad? In my humble opinion, you have to change your priorities. You have shown love. And before I lose you, if I haven't already, I'm talking about sacrificial love. The love that takes over your life so that you would give your life for your child. You child didn't ask to be here. It can be raised by the state. It can be raised in brothel, crack house, or the streets. The only reason and the only way your child will make it is if you protect it, love it, nurture it, teach it, feed it, all of that. OK lets back up. the kid has been born, the mother is a psycho chick with a nice body. it was a one night stand, or a repeat offense cause it was that good, she is not someone you thought would be a good mother but... or she belongs to another, was married, separated and ... there are a million scenarios if you don't have children right now, and you are listening, allow me to help you understand the importance of contraception, the importance of abstinence, the case for waiting, the case for being smarter than your penis, deciding not to take the hot chick to bed immediately as if her expiration date was fast approaching. the case for marriage, the case for planning because the alternative is to be a single father, dealing with a woman that doesn't want anything to do with you except your child support. Another child getting lost in the system, thinking her father doesn't love her. thinking all men must be like that guy.... But my guest this week, is a humble guy, a good man I met at work. He just recently became a father, since I've known him and from the outside looking in, is doing damn good at it. His name is Garnder Douglas. He is an Army vet. He is an entrepreneur and a podcaster. And he is the second guest on Kenn Blanchard’s' Game Changers Podcast.

The birthrate in the U.S. has hit a historical low, with fewer babies being born than that necessary to replace the existing population. Organizer Jenny Brown argues that that's because the social support for women and families is so meager, that women have stopped having children or have reduced the number of kids they're having. And this informal birth strike, she argues, has the business class worried — and points to a hidden source of power. (Encore presentation.)

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalm 127: 3-5 The decision to add on to a house can be both challenging and rewarding. Also, adding on to your marriage with children can be both challenging and rewarding. It all starts with an amazing love story. Two people fall hopelessly in love and enter into the marriage covenant to become husband and wife. The couple hold hands, look into each other's eyes, and repeat their vows to continue their love as long as they both shall live. Two lives become one in the most incredible union and in the most intimate of ways. Through marriage, you find a feeling of completion and satisfaction in emotional and physical ways that are unmatched in any other earthly relationship. Then it happens and everything changes. It is in the natural instinct of man and woman to create new life. Two lovers become two parents. After nine months of anticipation, waiting, and planning, the day finally arrives. I remember all the countless hours I spent reading to my unborn children. I remember all the time we spent talking and planning our life with a new child. I remember feeling those first baby kicks as my ecstatic wife placed my hand on her pregnant belly. I remember the magical moments when each of my children were born and recognized the voice of their father. Time stood still, unforgettable memories were seared into our minds, and our lives were changed forever at the birth of our children. Even though building on to your little fixer upper marriage is exciting and joyful, the changes it creates are astronomical in effect. You are no longer just husband and wife, but mom and dad. The little bundle of joy that you wrap up and bring home is a time bomb of change to marriage. These are three ways you can have a great marriage after having children. www.FixerUpperMarriage.org/children 1. Learn How to Work Together as a Team Prayerfully Decide Together about Having Children It is a great idea to discuss the prospect of having children before you get married! When my wife and I were dating, she revealed to me that she wanted to have 10 children! After I picked my jaw off the floor and talked about it, we both discovered that we loved kids and wanted to have as many as God wanted us to have. And this would become something we would pray about together throughout the course of our marriage. I have known couples who believe you should have as many babies as you physically can. But after losing our first child and spending approximately 3 months in the hospital with our second pregnancy, we decided together to pray for specific guidance before attempting to have more children. It is wise in my opinion to consider the emotional and physical health of your wife when considering having children. Communicate Your Expectations of Each Other

Jennifer and James have a very unique family, they have 10 children! 6 of them have been adopted and 4 or those adopted have disabilities. They each have brought love and joy into their family. Internationally Adopted Children with Special Needs The Unexpected Jennifer and James went to Kazakhstan to adopt their daughter. They were unaware at the time that she has autism and other medical issues as a result of living in an orphanage. Jennifer recalled “She ended up with Reye syndrome and came home with severe liver problems and cognitive disabilities..they did some testing and told me that she had severe autism” Both Jennifer and James were crushed by the diagnosis. However, she has exceeded expectations and is on the honor roll as a freshman in high school. “As soon as I think we’re going to hit a ceiling, she breaks through it.” Jennifer added. Adding More After struggling with miscarriages for a few years Jennifer knew it was time to adopt and add another to their family. Some countries have restrictions on allowing typically developing children to be adopted if there are other children in the home. This led Jennifer and James to start adopting more children with disabilities. The moment Jennifer saw Jacob, she knew he was supposed to be in their family. “I recognized him, I knew it was him and he had Trisomy 21, Down syndrome.” Jennifer said. Children with Special Needs have Special Abilities to Love James says children with disabilities have a unique gift to love. The amount of happiness felt not only by his wife and him, but also their other kids, has dramatically increased since they’ve adopted children with disabilities. “The light and joy that they bring us is immense,” James said, “and this is true with each one of our children. They have their own unique traits and their own unique abilities. But with those things that the world would call special needs, they come as a total package, and with those special needs have come special abilities, and that’s not just lip service. Truly special abilities that have blessed our lives more than I can begin to say.” Jennifer said, these children with special needs know what’s most important in life and really understand happiness. They naturally have many talents and capabilities that do not come so easily to others. This family knows to truly love, care for, and raise children with special abilities means to be blessed to be in the presence of angels. The Impact of Having Children with Special Needs Jennifer and James both agree that their children who have special needs have had a profound impact their immediate family as well as their extended family. Jennifer said “they all have a very special connection with all of our children, but particularly the ones with Down syndrome..my brother was the one who said to me..‘I think that their chromosome (the extra one) is the love chromosome.’ “It’s been fun to see that they’ve not only impacted up in our immediate family but in our extended family and our community.” added Jennifer Questions when Adopting Children with Special Needs Parents who want to adopt but aren’t sure, James encourages them to look deeper. Of course the cost of adoption is high—especially from a foreign country—is expensive, but adopting a child is infinitely more valuable than any material possession anyone would spend the same amount of money on. Jennifer says she knows every child has a forever family whether it’s their own or an adoptive family.
