That's not why contraception is considered evil. There is nothing intrinsically evil about postponing conception. What is intriscially evil about contraception is the fact that it sterilizes the act of love between a husband and wife. Spouses are called to love in the image and likeness of the Father. That is, with a life giving love, full and complete. They are called to love one another completely and totally. With a sterilized sexual act, the couple does not love each other totally. They love each other up to a point. They do not love each other with a life giving love. If a couple does use a natural means of postponing conception, then they still accept each other completely, including their fertility. And they still love one another with a life giving love, there is nothing different between the love expressed between them then, and when a child is created. That's why contraception is intrinsically evil. It's not because a baby is not conceived.

I'm trying to apply this rule to difficult situations where "natural means" doesn't work.
In that case the couple must resort to celibacy.
This isn't accepting one another's fertility at all - it is rejecting it totally along with the unitive aspect of sex.
Common sense tells me this is more damaging to a marriage than resorting to contraception (non-abortificant of course)
