Actually I am not ticked at all. That is the second or third times someone has completely made something up out of thin air toward me.
“That’s what all of this is about. He wants ME to search for links to prove him right.”
No. I do not need to be proved right because I already know I am right. And I did the search myself this morning n(again). I just think you shouldn’t be lazy. I have said that from early on.
“Why should I? I didn’t say it. If a poster cannot back up what they state then they should not make the assertion.”
I already know what I said is true. It is you who needs to shake off your laziness and do something.
“Actually the failure rate is relatively high and the bad effects on marriage are common.”

Couples that refuse to use contraception or employ natural family planning had statistically significant associations with the following description over couples that chose to use contraception.
“have a dramatically low (0.2%) divorce rate;”
“experience happier marriages;”
“are happier and more satisfied in their everyday lives;”
“have considerably more marital relations;”
“share a deeper intimacy with spouse than those who contracept;”
“realize a deeper level of communication with spouse;”
“have relatively large families with many children;”
“are appreciably more religious and attend church more often;”
“incorporate prayer more in their daily lives;”
“rely strongly on the teachings of the Church, the Bible and Almighty God;”
“are personally happier;”
“have strong traditional, social, and moral views;”
“preserve the family unit more responsibly than the other groups;.”
“are unlikely to have ever had an abortion;”
“are unlikely to have ever cohabitated;”
“are unlikely to work full time;”
“are unlikely to be supportive of and to engage in sex outside of marriage;”
If you have further questions, feel free to ask and I will answer any questions that you do have.
Like vlad, I do not believe that unity should be preserved at the consequence of truth. Contraception use hurts marriage profoundly, and we have been working through the consequences thereof over the last 70 years since Lambeth.
