I think the most important thing is that the NFP method that is being used by the married couple brings them closer to each other and to Christ by their openness to life!

Good luck exploring the world of NFP later on! It can be a lot to navigate, but at its root, stuff is pretty simple. I have tons of NFP resources, so if you freaked out by the different methods later on, let me know if you want information on websites or whatever!

But when the time comes I'll be sure to find out what works for me. I love how you linked it to the Franciscan Order, what a great connection!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-82834463995572632372015-11-11T21:33:20.956-06:002015-11-11T21:33:20.956-06:00Good for you, Ann-Marie!

That's awesome that you've worked through 3 different methods; I'd love to learn more about all of the methods and how they all work(I've read a little bit here and there, but that's it). I think you have an awesome perspective of being able to see the different ways that NFP can work in different seasons of life!

It took me three different methods to find one that works well for us. And who knows, when I get to a different season of life, I may need to change again!Ann-Marie Ulczynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855303309031758189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-42684950912346760772015-11-11T14:11:29.329-06:002015-11-11T14:11:29.329-06:00Laura, I totally agree with you!

It's so easy to assume that every marriage is (or should be) like ours, or think that all children should be raised the way that we would raise our children, but that's just not the way it is! Definitely a big step in humility for all of us :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-59567802154603599622015-11-11T14:10:01.994-06:002015-11-11T14:10:01.994-06:00Mary, I think you perfectly summed up the periodic...Mary, I think you perfectly summed up the periodic continence/NFP boat that so many couples are in :) It's definitely an amazing way that God can help couples grow closer to Him in trust & love, but it's also a huge sacrifice! Even the charting in itself without continence can be a bit of a sacrifice because, while it can get to be second nature, it still requires a little bit of AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-22441947870028732062015-11-11T08:26:36.209-06:002015-11-11T08:26:36.209-06:00We are back on the NFP wagon here in the Wilkerson...We are back on the NFP wagon here in the Wilkerson Household!

We lost sight of the beauty of NFP when we get lost in comparing the methods. <br /><br />I think this happens in other areas too, such as marriage, mothering, and teaching children.
