Why do the "NFP People" have so many kids? | Ep. 29

from Reclaiming Catholic Intimacy · host Ellen Holloway

This was one of my biggest sticking points with NFP (honestly) before I started using NFP: If the efficacy rates are as good as they say they are, why do people who use NFP have like 5 or more kids?So we're diving into that this week and talking about what that really reveals about NFP use within a marriage. *Note to listeners: This episode uses a stereotypical understanding of NFP users as having large families to reveal what NFP use does to our hearts and our marriages. This is not to say all couples who use NFP have large families or that having a larger family is somehow more holy than having a small family. NFP is about working with God to plan your family. God has a perfect plan for your family whether it is two people (you and your spouse) or ten people. ___________________________________Did we mention a book on this week's episode?
