Managing Your Fertility

54 - What does it look like to lean into YOUR NFP story?


Listen Later

Do we make space for every NFP story?
There are a lot of gaps when it comes to NFP. From marketing, teaching, instruction, spiritual direction... unless you happen to be in a great parish with a priest who is comfortable supporting parishioners, mentor couples to help with the practicals, and instructors to teach the science, it can feel like the wild west and you're on your own.
Today, I want to focus on what it looks like to own YOUR NFP story and your own journey of healing & refinement in your marriage.

Shownotes:
As mentioned in the episode, below are questions you can use as journaling prompts or to aid in a discussion with your spouse.
*REMINDER* These questions may bring up a lot of different reactions and emotions. Please be sure to invite the Holy Spirit into the conversation and use these as prompts. Perhaps, you choose one question to focus on or maybe a couple. Do not force conversation and be tender with each other.

  • What are the joys of NFP for us?
  • What are the challenges of NFP for us?
  • Do we like using NFP?
  • What do we not like about using NFP?
  • Where do we feel like we could grow?
  • What areas of our marriage have NFP shined a flashlight on or magnified issues for us?
  • Do we understand how to chart or has this been a source of stress for us?
  • Do we understand and feel comfortable with discernment or does it create stress for our marriage?
  • Where could we use more support?
  • What would make NFP easier for us?
  • What would help us feel less alone or isolated?
  • Are we being called to share our story of NFP with others (maybe even being honest about the journey we're on rather than we've "made it")? If not, why not?
  • Do we need healing in other areas of our marriage?
