Church’s beliefs on NFP
I have a difficult time accepting the church’s teaching that NFP or complete abstinence are the only acceptable forms to avoid pregnancy in marriage. i understand that marriage is also about procreation and that having children is beautiful but being someone who has 4 kids before 28 and knowing I have a good 15 more years of child bearing and NFP already brought about said 4th child…Its just difficult to fathom. its like my only option is to either never have sex with my husband again until I’m 50 or have so many that we can’t afford to feed them and if I pick a third option then I am sinful. it just seems cruel honestly… how do other people deal with this? how do you feed your kids or house them? how do you have a happy sexless marriage? I just dont understand
