Other than giving moral guidance on the intrinsic value of human life and the education and avoidance of any method of birth control for married couples that takes the life of the innocent unborn, the “church” should stay out of the decision between a husband and wife. God gave us brains to go along with our sexual desires and not all intercourse MUST be for procreation only. Should we be “open” to conception in the case where the method doesn’t work? Of course! But to flat out prohibit ANY form of birth control for any reason seems both extreme and irresponsible.

If you include NFP in your definition of "birth control" then God is not against all "birth control."

"A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing."

Exactly! Exactly the understanding of NFP.

In that sense, NFP is birth control but it is not contraception.
