NFP: Married Love and the Gift of Life (2020)

Natural Family Planning: Married Love and the Gift of Life

Summarizes Church teaching on marriage, conjugal love, and responsible parenthood in Q & A format

This resource explains the Catholic understanding of marriage, sexuality, contraception, and natural family planning (NFP). It presents marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, in which love and openness to life are inseparable dimensions of God's plan.

Marriage is more than a legal contract; it is a covenant in which spouses give themselves to one another completely and permanently. The sexual union of husband and wife expresses this covenant and embodies both the unitive meaning of marriage (bonding of spouses) and the procreative meaning (openness to new life).
