Ralph Kenley and Leah Barrow are on a date, chaperonned by Sandra Kenley.

Leah: So, Ralph, we have to talk about something

Ralph: Oh

Leah: You haven't been a member of churchims for very long and may not no a lot about my past.

Ralph: Your past?

Leah: Yes, my past, the things that happend when I was younger

Ralph: No, I haven't heard anything about that. What happend?

Leah: As a teenager I was very troubled and didn't want to listen to my parents. They wanted me to start courting and I just didn't want that.

Ralph: Why not?

Leah: I wanted to make music and not get married and start having children.

Ralph: You love making music, don't you?

Leah: Yeah, very much. So, together with a friend of mine, Belle, I run away from home, from this town.

Ralph: Wow! Really?

Leah: Yes, we lived far away from here for a couple of years. I was making it as a musician and Belle was working to save for college.

Ralph: You made it as a musician?

Leah: Yes, I was very good and did concerts and taught music. One day we where discovered by the Landgraab's. Together with them I got back in touch with my parents.

Ralph: It must have been hard for them.

Leah: It really was, and I hated doing it but I had to do that and make it on my own. My parents fully accepted me as I was when I came back. Especially my mom was so glad I came back that she didn't care about all those years I was gone.

Ralph: A mothers love is very deep

Leah: Yes, indeed. Belle, my friend, didn't like it because she didn't want to have contact with her parents, Oliver and Dakota Rogers.

Ralph: Do they have another daughter?

Leah: Yes, that's Belle. So advancely I moved back into my parents home and broke all contact with Belle.

Ralph: So you don't know where she is either?

Leah: Well, I did at first. But then I slipped up, her parents figured it all out and wanted to get her back. I called her to warn her and she has escaped her parents visiting her house. I do have a little contact with her but I don't know where she is so I can't tell her parents.

Ralph: And do her parents know that?

Leah: That I still have a little contact with her? No, not at all. And I want to keep it that way.

Ralph: Thank you for telling your story, Leah.

Leah: You have to know that I don't want a marriage like my siblings. Getting pregnant all the time, having children back to back. Even if I have the same fertility as my mom, she still ended up with six children. I don't know if I want that.

Ralph: No?

Leah: No, I want to keep making music and have my own life.

Ralph: hmm, that's alright I think. My mom worked all my childhood and I didn't suffer from that. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to me that she wanted to stop.

Leah: Yeah, exactly. That's so weird. You and Raymond aren't young anymore. You can take care of yourself.

Ralph: Sure

Leah: So, are you okay with something like NFP in marriage?

Ralph: Yes, certainly. If it's really God's will that we have children he will provide even if we use NFP.

Leah: I love how you worded that, Ralph

A new family has joined churchims, the Kenley family. It's special because two of the already married sons also joined the church. Jacob&Sandra Kenley have four sons, Dylan, Ralph, Jordan and Raymond. They are all adults already. Dylan and Jordan are married but Ralph and Raymond still live at home with their parents.

Jacob&Sandra have been married for over 30 years. They have a balanced marriage. Sandra worked most of her marriage at a restaurant and Jacob worked as a journalist. Already years ago they got in contact with churchmembers of another church and learned about God. They dived in deep and now joined churchims. Sandra gave up her job at the restaurant while Jacob started working more. Sandra won't be having children anymore since she is already 57 years old. She is hoping for grandchildren to fulfill her woman's duty's.

Eldest son Dylan is 29 years old. He is a bit of a perfectionist and especially in the area of recycling and making everything diary free. He married with Alexis a little of three years ago. They loved living with just the two of them near the ocean where they want to clean up the beaches and the water. Alexis would love children some day and lately really saw her parents in law joining churchims as a sign of God to let the control go and be quiverfull and join churchims also.

Third son Jordan is 24 years old and he married Susan a half year ago. He is also watching the environment but his real passion is music. Especially christian music. He hopes to make it as a real christian musician someday. Susan is very smart and a bit of a nerd. And she wants to have a lot of stuff. So getting married to a musician can play out not so good or really good for her.

Ralph (on the right) is almost 27 years old. He is very smart but has a creative passion, candle making. He makes them of pieces of old candles. He loves recycling that way.
