Even the Catholic Church maintains that its members can use non-artificial means to limit their families.

Correct. If there is a grave reason.

Question: How many children do you have?

One. Five months old. We're trying for a second.

Not 50?

I don't think that many would be possible. Given the age of my wife and I, 8-10 is about as many as we could realistically hope for (unless we're blessed with twins or the like along the way).

Why not?

I haven't been married for very long. Give us a few years.

Being as delicate as I can be here......are you aware that a woman has a body part with only one function........pleasure? No procreative quality at all.

I've got to leave this discussion, but do think about that God given quality your wife has that has nothing at all to do with giving birth to children.....and then you might want to rethink your positions a bit.

Just one!!!! Heck, I thought you had the experience of managing a house full of children and were advising us of the joys of such.

Keep going and in no time at all your wife might be in the same physical and psychological state as Mrs. Yates in Texas (you do remember her, don't you?).
