What is it like to use the Marquette Method of natural family planning? This week, I brought on my husband Ben to discuss just that. Natural family planning (NFP) has definitely strengthened the communication in our marriage and helped ensure we are on the same page regarding intimacy and family planning.

Here is some of what you will hear in this authentic conversation about using natural family planning:
-How a man can be involved in using natural family planning
-What it really looks like day to day to chart together
-How to handle when your desire for intimacy conflicts with your family planning goals
-”You know a kiss is really just a kiss”
-What intimacy looked like when taking birth control versus using natural family planning
-”It’s a lot more conversation-based than physical attraction-based”
-”You love me so much you’ll wait to be physically intimate”
-Using natural family planning for avoiding pregnancy versus “not-not-trying”
-High school health class doesn’t prepare you for the reality of a woman’s fertility
-How to start a conversation with your husband about starting to use natural family planning
-”It’s definitely a baby step process. [...] It does bring you closer together and bring about positive conversations.”
