A change of perspective

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is a safe and effective way to plan your family. It also provides an organic philosophy to family planning. Organic not only in a green, carbon emission-reducing sense or because it reduces a reliance on artificial hormones and devices that may be bad for your health. Rather, NFP is green and organic in the sense that it gives couples the space to discern the direction of their family life in the knowledge that they are working with their bodies in the way they were designed to work.

For Catholics though, those are just some of the advantages of using NFP. It is really about more than that. What it comes down to is a way of how marital vows can be lived out in a truly authentic sense. The Church has a great vision for marriage and family life and some of that is expressed in what it asks of married couples through the sacrament of marriage.
