Again.
In the meantime -- limit this?...Great post. Again.<br /><br /><i>In the meantime -- limit this? No thank you. I'm called to limit everything else: material excess, leisure time, heady solo pursuits and even predictable sleep patterns.</i><br /><br />Great point. It's interesting that NFP is a mandatory part of marriage prep and this is seen as a "good thing"...it must be assumed that serious reasons for restricting children are the norm, and that the couple will certainly not want to have as many children as they can.<br /><br /><i>But another eternal soul may be called forth, and my family is at the service of a God whose generosity I know to include grace. Children are the visible sign of marital love fulfilled</i><br /><br />Isn't it appropriate that since children are a visible sign of marital love, we now have so much less of them? God is clever, but not malicious, and the world belongs to those who show up for it...in a strange sense, birth control is God's secret weapon against the devil...mdavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807797510077851525.post-1387027106386765132012-02-26T10:13:59.587-09:002012-02-26T10:13:59.587-09:00NFP just needs to be explained better to Catholics...NFP just needs to be explained better to Catholics. Most aren't catechized sufficiently on what it is, and what the prudent use of it should be. I used the Creighton Model long before I was married to treat and cure my insane PMS. I have a biology degree, and I approach charting as a medical tool. (And loving your spouse while you both know that "its a fertile day" is entirely different from not knowing.) It can also be used very successfully for infertile couples wanting to conceive. As far as delaying pregnancy goes, the Church has always taught that we only do that for serious reasons, taken with huge doses of prayer, and being clear in conscience that we are being as generous as we can and not simply wanting more worldy goods instead, or less chaos in the house, or whatever. I also strongly urge women to learn the method before marriage, because if a serious issue arises unexpectedly, there will be much less stress on the marriage. I appreciate your candid post and encouragement to be open to new life!Sarahttp://www.myhomeschoolstyle.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807797510077851525.post-16303021959943637502012-02-24T09:32:39.338-09:002012-02-24T09:32:39.338-09:00Absolutely perfect!
