From jim veryser

How Long Have You Used Natural Family Planning (NFP)?

33 years

Will You Continue to Use Natural Family Planning?

Yes

How Many Children Do You Have?

Six: four boys, two girls

Why Did You Decide to Use Natural Family Planning?

We initiallly used "the pill" from 1974-1976, and when we came back to the Church in 1977, we realized that NFP was the only moral choice.

What NFP Method Do You Use, and Why Did You Choose It?

Symto-thermo method that we learned through taking classes about it. We did not really understand everything they taught us, but we were not too concerned about"slipping up," as we were open to however many children God wanted us to have.

Lessons Learned

  • We are blessed with six beautiful adult children and do not regret using NFP. After our youngest was born in 1988, we finally understood the method and we continued to practice NFP effectively. We highly recommend it to all couples who desire to say "YES" to God!
