Good afternoon Doc.

This is a good subject, and in fact is one that my bride to be and I discussed with the priest that will marry us yesterday.

As I have already stated, we will use NFP for the first year or so before we have kids. The thing that always bothers me is the so many Catholics do say it is not birth control, and then wink and tell you how to use it like birth control. The thing is, at different times in the Church (both RCC and non RCC), sex of any kind was viewed as either sinful or at best not recommended. There are many cases where married couples are honored for NOT having sex at all in the early church, and Augustine himself said that a Christian will have fewer children, because they do not have time to have sex but must serve God.
