"Couples are empowered with
NFP–women have a valuable
tool to gauge their health. The
menstrual cycle has actually
been called the 5th vital sign,
because it can tell a woman that
much about her health."

first four years of our marriage,
and we thought we were
getting all that we could out of
our sex life. We were wrong."

"Many women are initially put on
the pill to “treat” a host of
common reproductive problems.
The pill does not effectively treat
these problems, but simply
suppresses the woman’s
menstrual cycle, delaying
treatment of the problem."

"When we found Natural Family
Planning and started using it, we
no longer had any of the
lingering, often back-of-mind,
worries about whether we were
harming her health, marginalizing
our intimacy, or reducing our sex
life to something less than it
should be."

way for spouses to learn that
intimate signs of affection don’t
always have to lead to
intercourse."

"The spouses' [physical] union
achieves the twofold end of
marriage: the good of the spouses
themselves and the transmission of
life. These two meanings or values of
marriage cannot be separated
without altering the couple's
spiritual life and compromising the
goods of marriage and the future of
the family."
- Catechism of the Catholic Church

9. Natural Family Planning
"When God designed the marital
act, He designed it to have two
inseparable dimensions: a unitive,
or love-giving dimension, and a
procreative, or life-giving
dimension. Love and life: they
always go together. All love is life
giving. Real love is never
intentionally made sterile. "

"The moral difference between
NFP and contraception is that
contraception deliberately
interrupts, sterilizes, and works
against (contra) conception,
while NFP respects the way
God ordained conception to
occur."

dysfunction and promote the
proper functioning of the body
as God designed it.
Contraception does the
opposite: it prevents the natural
functioning of the body."
