Natural Family Planning
-
-
The Catholic Church calls married couples to openness to life as part of God’s plan. Natural Family Planning, such as the Creighton Model, teaches couples to understand fertility rather than suppress it.
By identifying fertile times, couples can choose to achieve or avoid pregnancy, fostering communication, self-control, and deeper expressions of love. This strengthens marriage according to God’s design, reflected in the low divorce rate among NFP users.

The Creighton Model not only teaches a couple to track their fertility cycles, but also numerous health problems can be identified from the information that women chart. These include infertility, recurring miscarriage, endometriosis, PMS, and hormonal imbalances. It is also a highly adaptable system to many situations - whether women have irregular cycles, are breastfeeding, are premenopausal, or are trying to achieve pregnancy. A woman or couple works individually with a teacher as they learn to chart and use the system based on their situation.

Single women: this is an amazing opportunity to learn how to chart your cycles, become a partner and participant in your reproductive health, and learn a system that you can use the rest of your reproductive life.
Engaged couples: this is a beautiful way to continue to help your bond as a couple develop - and you will have something to talk about besides wedding details!
Married couples: no matter where you are with your growing family, this is a chance for you to connect in a new way and help your relationship grow.
