This is a talk given in February of 2025 to Catholic college students. The talk focuses on the growing popularity of traditional gender roles in the household and defends them from Catholic theological and practical perspectives. Some financial education on home buying and dual vs single incomes is offered at the end. The speaker's wife is also present and gives some commentary.
