Survival of the Serious

by Brian Killian on December 19, 2009

If you’re practicing Natural Family Planning, it quickly becomes evident that it’s hard to abstain during the fertile period. It’s so hard, that no one could do it without serious reasons. No frivolous reason can stand up to the force of Nature to keep life in bloom. NFP is like a motive filter. It rejects most of the selfish and superficial motives couples have to avoid children and ensures that only the most serious motive survives. You don’t have to worry if your reasons are serious or not, the sacrifice of abstinence will put them to the test.
