That sounds wonderful. I wish I had better priorities when I was younger, might have done something similar. But as it stands, Im going to do the best with what I've got. Either my husband changes his mind or I resign myself to it, but i won't let it turn me into some kind of belligerent woman.
What do you get the whole separate thing from? Is this covered in the catechism somewhere that I missed? I had assumed you could live jointly, leave open the option of kids, dedicate yourself to God etc.
A win win situation either way, for me, if I can sell it right
They call that presumption, I think
That's a pretty promising prospect… Current location is a great little town in an otherwise debased greater NYC-area sprawl, but the cost of living is bad news. We have friends in New England who've been urging us to move up there. Thinking about it, it really could shake up the earning situation in a positive direction… Maybe its a fruitful idea to revisit. Thank you user! It's been a wonderful thing. You wouldn't believe how much both our lives have changed for the better. Its like, overnight, we turned into respectable members of society. It scares me sometimes to think about what he and I were liable to wind up as if we hadn't. Losers, basically. Arts and music… Not even once.

You want to fulfill your end of the marriage and your obligation to God to bare children, nothing is wrong with you.

If you've been married for over a decade I'd imagine you've had innumerable conversations with him on it. Pray, no doubt, that he changes his mind. In all honesty that's all one really can do, unless you're able to change his mind somehow. I thought you said y'all stopped being degenerates

From St. Paul, He means from the marriage mysteries which command our silence, but it is better to live more separate because temptation arises in weakness. But if you separate yourself entirely from that and dedicate yourself in prayer (to pray properly you have to), then you can entirely celibate until your deaths.

You say that you both came back to the church, since you're completely married than divorce wouldn't be a very christian option unfortunately nor helpful. Simply having a serious talk with about what you want, and why children is the natural next step for christian marriage. Or you could be subtle and let him know about how important having children is for you. I actually agree with your husband's point of view, you would be surprised at what is shilled to your kids in education and media, and done in a way that you don't understand.
It's possible hes not ready to have kids, and is trying to have a good reason not to have one. make sure you have money before having kids.
I know a family member with the same outlook on the topic, maybe he would change his mind if you showed him examples of people living well outside of the system. Home schooling, sheltered children, zero access to media/or heavily screened before hand, timed computer use, It's definitely possible. It's mostly childhood and adolescence where the elite shill their terrible psychology and values on the youth. I hope god blesses you with intelligent children in this world.
