Marriage Intimatcy

[csidelinger]

My wife and I would like to know, how we can be intimate after three children? My wife is diabetic and has struggled with diabetes after being diagnosed after our third child. We are both in our mid to late 40’s. She had to deliver our last child 8 weeks early and almost died as a result. Please advise on how we can move forward and be intimate without the risk of getting pregnant.

I let others who are very knowledgeable with NFP answer the how. Nothing except abstinence is absolute.

I will say make sure your wife is seeing an endocrinologist in addition to a family practice physician, and perhaps a certified diabetes educator. It takes rather intense monitoring and management, but the disease is not a bar to pregnancy.

Follow doctor’s orders WRT meds, diet, exercise, rest, etc.

Examine the many different forms of NFP and new wearable tech for some methods.

Try NFP research a few different methods until you find one that suits you.
Look at other ways of being intimate in the mean time that don’t involve sex.
