E251: Marriage, Sex, and Children: The M...

Lila Rose
About this episode

When Chrissy Horton, content creator and mother of six, joined the show, a clip from our conversation went viral with more than 8 million views on X and set off a wave of controversy. The reason was simple: we suggested that men can choose lifelong celibacy as a priest or abstain from sex in marriage during postpartum recovery.


Now Chrissy is back, and this time her husband Tim joins the conversation. Together they respond to the backlash and share an unfiltered look at marriage, masculinity, and what it really means for men to embrace self-control. We explore whether self-control can be seen as a masculine virtue, what men actually think about periods of abstinence required when practicing NFP, and how couples navigate these choices in real life.


Along the way, Chrissy and her husband open up about the behind-the-scenes details of their love story and the daily adventure of raising a large family. This episode is funny, candid, and inspiring—a real look at family life and faith without the fluff.
