Chapter 4: How has having children influenced Erika's conservatism?
Do you think having kids made you more conservative?
100%, which I didn't think was possible. But 100%, absolutely. And a better wife. And a better wife.
Do you think that a lot of the fact that young women are liberals because they don't have kids usually, typically?
Young women are liberals because they don't have kids.
I'm asking. Yeah.
No, I wouldn't say that because I have some friends who are still not married and don't have kids and they're conservative and they're finding it hard to find a mate. But if you're saying traditionally speaking, like. the women who don't have kids are more left-leaning because they choose not to have kids. That's a whole different topic.
They consider kids to being a burden.
A burden, a nuisance. But also, too, you have to understand, and that also goes back to How did you know it was time to get married? Understanding your biblical role as a wife and a mother and knowing that you're ready to step into that motherhood, that being a wife and that type of era of your life, if you will.
So here's a good one. What traits should conservative women be looking for in men and vice versa?

Chapter 5: What traits should conservative women and men look for in a spouse?
You know, the men that are just they're grabbing the low hanging fruit, meaning on the apps. Women get upset when they go on a date with a guy they found on the app and all of a sudden they ghost them or all of a sudden they're just not communicating with them anymore.
To me, it's because the guy didn't have to hunt for them, not saying they have to hunt for a woman, but they do have to seek out a wife. And since they didn't have to, they made it so easy on an app to just press a button and It it's just a number in their head. Like you want to be so much more than I'm not saying apps are bad. I mean, they're not the greatest thing.
I've had friends who did find their significant other on an app. But the likelihood it's like the lottery, the likelihood of you finding your future husband or wife on an app is a lot less likely to happen. So that to say. I I'm so blessed. It's so hard because I I literally won the jackpot with my husband.
Vice versa.
That's really hard.
I will say women should look for men that have self-control and men should look for women that are willing to submit, which is basically a non-feminist woman.
Right. But the whole topic of submission becomes... That word really lights people on fire.
It's biblical. I know. It's beautiful.
Marriage in the right context is so beautiful because your husband will give up anything and everything for you in a healthy manner, but they will literally love you and honor you and cherish you above all and put... All the noise aside and focus on wife, children, family.

Chapter 6: What does submission mean in a biblical marriage and do women struggle with it?
They lose that fire that they got at the altar, that fiery spirit of this is the man I've been praying for. And they they get burned out because of the kids or because of circumstances. And then it's like submitting to my husband. That sounds exhausting. It's supposed to be liberating. It's supposed to be freeing. You are in charge of what you're in charge of.
Your husband's in charge of what he's in charge of. And it's supposed to be a beautiful thing. of a teamwork and symbolic within biblical marriage and symbolic within how God and Jesus and everything, just your whole faith is supposed to operate. So submission's a beautiful thing.
Yeah, it says submit as Christ submitted. Submit to your husbands as, I have to look at the exact verse.
Well, husbands, yeah.
Yeah, husbands submit to Christ. Ephesians 5. Yeah. Hey, everybody, you know what you need in your life? You need more trees. Did you know that Fast Growing Trees is the biggest online nursery in America with thousands of different plants and over 2 million happy customers?

Chapter 7: How do Charlie and Erika handle hate and criticism from Charlie's work?
I know. What traits are conservative?
This is one that someone just emailed us in, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Oh, really?
Erica, do you ever get hate from Charlie's work? How do you handle it? Charlie, do you ever feel guilt, or do you ever deal with guilt when Erica gets hate? No, I don't.
I honestly, this is so I got I this is how I know God made us for each other. Because anytime I do get quote unquote hate, it's the same stuff you get like that. I don't even want to say it's not even worth saying it or repeating the things that were called or the names that were called. But yeah. Yes, I do. I've lost family members. I've lost friends.
But I actually am kind of grateful that that's happened because God has pruned my life in a way where I am surrounded in a circle now by people who love us, support us, pray with us, encourage us.

Chapter 8: Are dating apps effective for finding a spouse according to Charlie and Erika?
Small, mighty circle.
And that's what I would much rather have, a small, mighty circle than a massive one. It's the people that you can trust and pour into. And yes, do I get hate. Bring it on.
Exactly.
I'll have a velvet steel spine by the end of my life, so bring it on. I have nothing to fear.
Yeah, I mean, look, we get a lot of hate. We get a lot of death threats, but it's just part of life. It is. And it makes you stronger. Right. And honestly, if you are out there and you aren't getting a lot of hate, then... What are you doing? Well, yeah, Satan's not... You're not doing anything that bothers Satan. No, exactly. You're just being boring.
You're probably honestly doing the bidding of the enemy.
Right. No, it's true.
OK, let's see. EMS freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Lots of questions coming in from you guys. You want to do the dating app thing?
Yeah, I mean, I kind of touched on it. Yes and no. I used to have stronger ones, but I don't think as many people are on them anymore than like dating apps and like dating services.
