Speak for yourself. You might find that an acceptable solution, but I can promise you nobody in a healthy marriage would. The key word being “healthy” . With all due respect, I would suggest you live a little bit more life before you develop form opinions on these issues. Sometimes certain kinds of wisdom can only come with age and experience.So then if it’s so irregular that no methods work at all, they should be abstinent
Assuming they are both completely healthy individuals, the marriage would never last. It just doesn’t happen. Now often times abstinence is required due to health problems, and that is a whole different story. When people aren’t feeling well, their intimate life is not usually at the top of their list of priorities. But I can promise you most married couples will not survive 20 years of abstinence. It is unrealistic to even suggest this as an option. Not to mention how unfair that type of a scenario is for the entire family. The dissatisfaction will trickle down to the children and everybody will be miserable. You really need to quit suggesting this type of thing, Incredibly unhealthy on so many levels.If 4 is all they can support and NFP is impossible, then 20 years is what they must give. 20 years of non-sexual marital bliss is far better than an eternity in hell.
I didn’t mean to insult you. However, I am not operating under any of the assumptions you accuse me of. I’m pointing out that you are not old enough to understand all of the intricacies of a marriage relationship. And yes, if you have children, children are involved in that relationship. These are things you can’t possibly know if you haven’t lived them. That’s not a put-down. Please don’t take it as one.With all due respect, I know what I’m doing. I may be young but I know that God is the way, the truth, the light. I don’t need your “help”, no offense. You’re operating under the assumption that a) I’ve never felt sexual temptation before, so I don’t know how to overcome it (Which is false) and that b) No healthy marriage has ever survived abstinence, which is also false.
Again, Christ and Paul the Apostle seem to imply that sex is vital.That makes absolutely no sense. Sex is never an essential part of a marriage past consummation, and people don’t need it to survive or be happy.
I’ll heartily agree that in younger, healthy and regular women, NFP - perfectly executed - is as good at preventing conception as the pill or condoms.So with some effort, NFP can be much more accurate than it’s been presented on here.
