  Lessons from the woman at the well | Global Sisters Report First, this woman is faced with a request from a stranger. He is a man and she is a woman; of course he might expect her to give him a drink. But, like Mary of Nazareth, she neither complies with the request nor refuses it before asking her own questions. The woman’s willingness to engage the stranger in conversation — a conversation that she shapes as much he — leads the two of them deeper and deeper into a relationship.

Panicked by falling fertility rates — which hit a record low of 1.6 children per woman in 2024 — the administration has floated all kinds of ideas to encourage babymaking, from launching $1,000 “Trump accounts” for newborns to soliciting outside proposals, like “motherhood medals” for moms of at least six. Yet the administration is blind to a proven fix that is right in front of us, one that costs it nothing: hybrid work. Simply put, working from home juices fertility. About 290,000 extra children a year have been born in the United States since the Covid pandemic fueled mor...
