I have been married for five years and have two children, a three year old and an eight month old. After my second pregnancy I went through a severe post partum depression. I did not have the support of anyone. My husband was working 100 hours a week and my mother is battling breast cancer. The birth of my second child was difficult for me. The first few months, I did not feel a connection with the baby at all. I didn’t care about much. My marriage was falling apart and my relationship with others was nonexistent. My relationship with God was not what I wanted at that time. This was the worse feeling in the world and I hope to never go through that again.
I am now working full time and feel better. The time that I spend with my children during the week is very minimal. I have two hours to prepare dinner, feed them, and bathe them, not giving me much time for actual quality time. I feel that my children do not deserve to be at daycare all day but my husband and I have to both work in order to fulfill our financial obligations, we cannot make it on only one income. We feel that we do not want more children because we cannot afford it financially and feel that we don’t give our children as much time as they deserve. A few months ago, I had a non-hormonal IUD inserted to prevent pregnancy. I did not go with a permanent birth control because our financial and family situation may change in the next years. I want to keep the option of having another baby open.
Is a non-hormonal, reversible contraceptive acceptable in the church? We recently started going to church again and I would like to continue receiving communion. Is this acceptable?
