Great post! I found you through a blog of a blog of a blog. I'm Catholic with 4 children and stared using NFP only 3 years ago. It changed our lives in a pretty big way, mostly in how it's brought about sanctification in our lives. We've had to ask all the hard questions.
Anyway, won't bore you with the details, but wanted to let you know I enjoyed the post.
Peace!
Funny, I never really thought about it, but it is *fun* to be a science project. Do I love NFP? No, but the life-affirming philosophy changes your mind set so much that I could never consider contracepting as an alternative.
How can you expect fidelity if you don't have complete trust?
