----"my choices are to continue to endanger my physical and mental health OR to live a life of celibacy with my husband.
Neither of which seems reasonable to me at the moment."-----
ME NEITHER!!!!!!
Am I missing something??
Why don't you relinquish complete control of the womb over to the Lord who is more than capable even though you may not be...??
Do you have some serious medical reasoning? WORST case scenario your husband can undergo the simple vasectomy(I say at WORST....)
Children are a beautiful thing!!!!!!!
"Children are a beautiful thing!!!!!!!"
Agreed.
I just gave birth to my seventh.
"Do you have some serious medical reasoning?"
medical issues? yes, although I would not describe them as life threatening.
Issues I am running up against now are more in the emotional/mental health area.
The short story is that I am overwhelmed and to continue on the path I've been on would be unwise (that path being NFP)
" WORST case scenario your husband can undergo the simple vasectomy(I say at WORST....) "
he won't do it.
"Why don't you relinquish complete control of the womb over to the Lord who is more than capable even though you may not be...??"
hmmmm....I've been told this before and really - that is what I've been doing for at least 8 yrs. now (since my husband converted).
I'm not sure what the statement means exactly.
If it means to just put it all out of my mind and leave it all up to nature -well then I'm going to have one baby a year until I reach menopause (trust me on this one)
There's that little common sense voice in the back of my mind telling me this wouldn't be smart.
