10) Support Natural Family Planning.
Many people are becoming
aware of the health risks associated with
contraception. Yet, few understand what other
options are available... and even fewer are
familiar with Natural Family Planning (NFP), and
how it works. Those that have heard of NFP
perceive it to be "the old rhythm method". As couples in your
parish become engaged, and seek the sacrament of
marriage, encourage them to take a class on NFP.
They will learn that it is 99% effective, and
100% natural, and has no side effects or health
risks associated with it. Through NFP, couples
can learn to "read" simple biological signs, and
know with great accuracy exactly where the women
is at in her fertility cycle. This vital
information can help them postpone or achieve
pregnancy ... and in the process, it will drawn
them close together, and closer to God. Find out
more about NFP, and where couples can take a
basic introductory class
here.
