In this heartfelt episode of The NFP Podcast, hosts Amy and Emily dive into a common — but often unspoken — challenge in marriage: what happens when one spouse longs for more children and the other feels the family is complete? With honesty, empathy, and a touch of humor, Amy and Emily explore the emotional, spiritual, and practical tensions that can arise when couples find themselves on opposite sides of the family planning conversation.
Tune in for thoughtful insights, compassionate encouragement, and real-life suggestions for how to seek unity, peace, and hope — even when the road feels uncertain. Whether you’re in the middle of this conversation or just want to be prepared, this episode offers a reminder that you’re not alone.
