Mrs_Victor had to have a hysterectomy as a result of complications of the birth of our third child. Would God have me never again touch my wife because we cannot procreate?
Rejoicing is rejoicing. The details of how are an issue between husband, wife, and God.
Oh my goodness, I'm sorry to hear that.
I apologize...I thought you were arguing something different. What happened to Mrs_Victor is another thing entirely. When the operation is medically necessary, there's no sin in it whatsoever, not even a tiny bit, and you two have every moral right to continue to rejoice in the gift God gave you. The Church would back you up 100% on that.
The sin of contraception only pertains to those people who voluntarily sterilize themselves for medically unnecessary reasons just because they don't want more children. You don't fall into that category whatsoever.
My prayers go out to both of you.
