More and more married couples are choosing not to have kids.

Is there anything wrong with that? My guest says "yes".

Think kids aren’t for you?
Think again
Procreation is more than a personal choice

(Dallas) Why are more couples choosing not to have kids? Because there are other ways to find fulfillment, say newlyweds. Is there a problem with this attitude? In her new book, "SMART SEX: FINDING LIFE-LONG LOVE IN A HOOK-UP WORLD," DR. JENNIFER ROBACK MORSE evaluates our modern conceptions—and prejudices—of family life.

By the end of the twentieth century, most people had joined the once-radical sexual revolutionaries in embracing a pair of badly flawed ideas—that freedom means being unencumbered by relationships, and that sex is a purely private activity with no moral or social significance. Morse shows how these ideas reduced sex to a commodity—“consumer sex”—and left millions of people miserable. She offers a radically different yet compelling view of sex, based on the law of self-giving inscribed in our human nature.

Here are some of the things we discussed.

-Why is childlessness among couples on the rise?

-Isn’t it okay for people to marry for each other and not for kids?

-How have our conceptions about sex and marriage changed since the sexual revolution?

-How are children a couple’s gift to the world?

-Is contraception wrong?
