2. Family planning does not mean either
stopping the couple from having
children or preventing pregnancy
through illegal practices of birth control.
Rather, it is having children only when
the couple wants them in order to best
take care of them. Parents have the
freedom to choose fro themselves the
number of children they want and they
preferred spacing of births..

3. Family planning is also a means of
enhancing their quality life through the
proper spacing of the birth of every
child. Couples can easily regulate
pregnancy and child birth, thus helping
them build a household with secure
finances.
The husband and wife have to decide on
the family planning method best suited
to their health, religion and resources.

13. Marriage is an intimate, lifelong partnership
in which husbands and wives give and
receive love unselfishly. The sexual
relationship expresses their married love and
shows what it means to become “one body”
(Genesis 2:24) and “one flesh” (Mark 10:8,
Matthew 19:6). The sexual union is meant to
express the full meaning of a couple’s love,
its power to bind them together “the unitive
aspect of marriage “and “its openness to new
life” the procreative aspect.
What Does The Church Say
About Contraception?
#ChurchOpinionFamilyPlanning
14. The Church believes that God has established an
inseparable bond between the unitive and procreative
aspects of marriage. The couple has promised to give
themselves to each other, and this mutual self-giving
includes the gift of their fertility. This means that each
sexual act in a marriage needs to be open to the possibility
of conceiving a child. “Thus, artificial contraception is
contrary to God’s will for marriage because it separates the
act of conception from sexual union” (United States
CatholicCatechismforAdults,p.409).
A couple need not desire to conceive a child in every act of
intercourse. But they should never suppress the life-giving
power that is part of what they pledged in their marriage
vows.

22. In the Temperature Method a woman takes her
waking temperature to identify a rise in temperature
indicating ovulation has passed. Elevated waking
temperature for three days in a row is considered
confirmation of the post-ovulatory less fertile phase.
23. Rhythm (Calendar) Method is a much less effective natural
birth control method. It predicts a woman’s fertile days using
calculations based on the length of past cycles and not daily
observations of fertility signs as used by FAM/NFP. The Standard
Days Method/Cycle Bead System is a variation of the Rhythm
Method. These are the least effective natural birth control methods
and are not generally recommended.
24. In this contraceptive method, the man
withdraws his penis from a woman’s vagina before
ejaculation. Both partners must be in agreement on
this method, and must be prepared to deal with an
unplanned pregnancy, which can occur in 1 out of 5
users.

26. Put simply, withdrawal is better than nothing. If you rely on
withdrawal as your primary method of birth control, there is a
good chance of having an unplanned pregnancy. Unless you are
prepared to deal with that possibility, it is highly recommended
that you put off intercourse until some other form of
contraception can be obtained.
