The end result can be the same -- it's just that the methods are different. <BR/><BR/>If the point is about NFP versus medical contraception, then perhaps the pithy bit should be about why people who use contraception are unhappy, have lousy sex lives, and almost always get divorced; instead of the idea that they hate kids.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901928456332053854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-48123056561214165392009-02-12T14:29:00.000-06:002009-02-12T14:29:00.000-06:00Okay, clear this one up for me.

Not tithing gives you more money, and less reason to argue.<BR/><BR/>Or, if #10 is really about managing expectations about the money you have rather than increasing the amount of money you have, wouldn't it be better to find a job that pays 10% less but gives you more time with your family (#8)?Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901928456332053854noreply@blogger.com
