We have a toddler and another child due in May. Due to some economic issues, we really feel that we need to space out or next child/preganacy if it is God’s will we have more children.

My wife is not very positive on using NFP, disagrees with the Church’s stand on artificial contraception and says she does not want to have babies in her late 30’s or early forties. I will not use artificial contraception and would rather practice abstinence if she is not on board with NFP.

This is putting a huge strain on our marriage and I am not sure what else we should do?
