Birth Control, Having Children & How Many Kids to Have | Marriage Q&A

What should a Christian couple think about birth control, family planning and how many kids to have? In this listener Q&A, Aaron and Jennifer Smith answer five questions from the Marriage After God community with honesty and Scripture. Jennifer shares her two difficult months on chemical birth control, and they explain why they now lean toward natural planning. They open up about why they waited to have children, from painful physical intimacy to selfish pride, and how a friend's gentle challenge turned 'how many do we want?' into 'how many does God want?' They also share how to prepare for a newborn without fear, pointing to John 16:21 and Psalm 127:3, and practical ways to invest in your spouse before kids: regular date nights, washing your wife with the Word, practicing transparency, and overcoming hidden sin and bad habits.
