Quick background: I have a Protestant girlfriend (mixed Lutheran/Non-Denominational) who is relatively open to Catholicism and is well aware that if we are to be married someday, it will be in the Catholic Church (and all that it entails- i.e.- Kids being raised Catholic).

Anyway, we often have religious discussions (which I love)…and our most recent one was about Natural Family Planning. This was a few weeks ago, and she wasn’t too convinced that it was something she would like to do…in fact, she was pretty opposed to it. Of course I pray for her conversion daily, and I added this to the list.

So the other day, the two of us are hanging out at her place, and out of the blue, she randomly says “I’ve decided that I’d like to do Natural Family Planning. I think it’ll be the best way to raise our family.”

I was astounded…and I don’t think I stopped smiling the rest of the evening. God is great! 😃

Just thought I’d share that with y’all. God Bless.
 
Sounds to me that you have someone special there. It is also great to hear of a couple discussing the important issues before they commit to a lifetime together. Very mature of each of you. 👍

Good luck and God Bless both of you.
🙂
 
That’s wonderful! It is amazing how God can work in people through you when you genuinely seek his help. I got married less than a year ago, and was previously in the same situation as your girlfriend… a Protestant respectful of her Catholic boyfriend and willing to lead the Catholic lifestyle for his sake and because it seemed “good”. Well, it was the conversations and the openness that he had about his faith that led me to want to learn more about Catholicism, and eventually led to my conversion about 6 months before our wedding. My conversion was a very exciting time for both of us, and I thank God for using my husband to bring me home! I pray that you and your girlfriend will experience that same blessing. 🙂
 
marry this girl bub… whats the hold up… well, let me back off here you might be 12 :eek: ,i don’t know anything about you… but it sure sounds great… i wish you a blessed future with the lady of your dreams… congrats… 👍
 
Wow…thanks for the kind words, everyone!

I’m actually 20 right now, Space Ghost…but it’s all good. :cool: Marriage is definitely looking like it will happen in the next couple of years (though we both want to finish school first). But yeah, she’s a keeper. 👍

Corinne- That’s fantastic! I pray for a similar experience all the time…and Lord willing, I believe it will happen someday. I have to say, though…I’m more confident after she suddenly embraced Natural Family Planning like that!

Anyway…I suppose since this is the “Family Life” board…does anyone else have any “Family Life” related answers to prayer lately? Let’s hear 'em!
