I applaud you and your husband’s efforts. I wish I had a Spiritual Advisor to speak to regarding this topic.

In periods of abstinence use it as an opportunity to grow closer to God by fasting and praying for one another offer up by suffering associated with it for each others salvation as the souls in purgatory as well as your children. And remind each other that you love each other and use the sexual energy to lovingly serve others.

Chastity, for love of God, makes a marriage stronger. That is also a SACRED intimacy uniting you to God and to each other. Look at it as a BLESSING and not as a drudgery. You will find it brings you so much joy.

Not For Procreation = not natural.

Thanks for watching

Thanks so much

Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much!

​@@Catholicspeakerhow does "increase and multiply not conflict with nfp?

Do you follow " uniquely Mary " channel? His wife teaches this method. I have never met them in person. Meetings were online.

No I don’t follow, I will look her up. Thank you for your reply ❤

God has plenty of $. Don't get in his way

NFP is "the art of sinning in a subtle way." Casti Connubii 108. To deliberately affect infertility is grave sin per the Roman rota1944 docs.google.com/document/d/102QTjUHVmZA0BqsRLPc2exHlNzGjs20BSx5QB5RTMmA/edit?usp=drivesdk docs.google.com/document/d/102QTjUHVmZA0BqsRLPc2exHlNzGjs20BSx5QB5RTMmA/edit?usp=drivesdk

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes but you can use cheap lh test strips to double check to not miss peak readings

That's true - but with multiple (more than 4) wrong peak readings why would someone continue to use it especially given how expensive it is? There are almost no editing capabilities (for example, editing a false peak so it doesn't 'program' the next cycles according to wrong data.) And there's no numerical data (how high is the LH and estrogen?) In contrast, the cheap LH sticks are great to use with an app so you can actually see what's going on (but then you can't track estrogen). The technology needs serious upgrades. As I said, I'm curious to see what the Mira monitor studies will look like - that also tracks progesterone. @@ashleyslack5960

Thank you for your service in putting nfp on the map as a viable option! I don’t doubt that the ‘pioneer’ methods may have been more difficult, but so thankful that there were people like yourself willing to teach and share it with others. This is why people like Ken and Janelle can now help share the Marquette method with a new generation. Thanks for your efforts and God bless 🙏

@MS-ez1pe very thoughtful of you. I agree. Besides, it's time to pass the baton to the next generation!! Ty Ken & Jenelle!!

NFP says marriage has no natural purpose.

@@AnnulmentProof I can see why you feel that way. It’s a difficult road to take. A cross, really. NFP, however, does elevate the supernatural in a marriage (God); which makes the impossible, possible. Ask me how I know (20 years and counting).

@@MS-ez1pe not feelings...legal definition. If marriage is to not "increase and multiply," then it serves no defined natural purpose.

O'gosh, sorry to hear this; how disappointing to be deceived in this precious area of marriage.

That's heartbreaking. 💔 I'll send up a prayer.

Thats cause for annulment. I hope she changes her ways.

Shes a human being not a horse or cow only for giving birth. She is the one who is going to create a precious life one day and care for that life forever. It’s not as simple as just HAVING a baby. She isn’t deceitful or worthless. She just isn’t ready and that’s not very Christian of you to feel any way towards her decisions. She was after all put here by God and he always knows what he’s doing. This is why I stay away from these types of channels. I’m over here dying from a debilitating an terminal illness looking for any type of comfort and I see comments like these. Almost makes me glad I’m leaving. Pray for their health and happiness. That’s all. And count your blessings.

@@ashleyslack5960shame on you Ashley.

What does God want?

Never in contraceptives.

NFP/CCL kill.

@@AnnulmentProof huh? Mind to elaborate with that crazy claim?

@@josephology3290 the church says contraception is virtually the same as murder. That's why.

@@AnnulmentProof where does the Church say this officially? I’ve heard some within the Church say murder (abortion) is worse than contraception. I personally think contraception is the greater evil. But I’ve not seen this officially in the CCC nor any magisterial document. Regardless, contraception and abortion are both evil. However, Natural Family Planning is not contraception. Read the papal encyclical Humanae Vitea. NFP is about working WITH God and not against God. It’s simply fertility awareness. Thus, a married couple can use NFP to get pregnant (many “infertile” couples would come to our NFP class hoping to learn something that the doctors couldn’t help them with so they could achieve pregnancy. They all did too! Praise God!). Also, for a serious reason, NFP can be used to space your blessings. Say your wife just had your third child by C-section and the doctor says your wife for her safety must not get pregnant for at least 1 year to heal up. So then during the fertile time each month (about a week to 10 days) that married couple should practice abstinence and show their love in other ways. True love waits. Analogy: fasting from chocolate is NOT the same thing as eating chocolate but then vomiting it up. Do you see the difference? Abstinence, if for a good reason, as St Paul said, is not sinful but can be a sacrificial sign of love! Joseph & Mary loved each other dearly yet they practiced abstinence their whole life. They did not sin. So, please, never say contraception is the same as NFP. It is not!!! Analogy: you want a dream house. Two options: A) work hard for 10 years then buy it, or B) rob a bank and buy the house tomorrow. Are both the same? No. There’s a right way and a wrong way. The end does not justify the means.

Bill's statement is so sad and dangerous.
