Actually, Catholic teaching provides that a couple must have serious and compelling reasons not to have another child. Not having a big enough house or wanting a trip to Disney World is not enough.

I very much doubt you can find me a citation anywhere that says that. But please do go ahead and try.

From Catholic-pages.com:

"NFP is only OK when the couple have serious social, psychological, physical or financial reasons to avoid another pregnancy" and "Pope Paul VI makes it clear that the first question to ask is 'Do we have grave reasons for avoiding a pregnancy at this time?'"
