The Marriage Bed

I came across this evangelical Christian website on marital sex, called The Marriage Bed, which has a page called Birth Control: A Christian Perspective. It covers the different methods, how they work, and what the ethical and moral considerations are for each.

They make this interesting comment about Natural Family Planning:

We have theological problems with NFP because it violates the Biblical command to only abstain from sex for the purpose of fasting and prayer (1 Cor 7:5).

This is my real beef with NFP too. If you read even basic stuff about NFP, you begin to see that you'd have to abstain at least 10 days out of every month... that's 1/3rd of my married life, thank you very much! Or should I say, NO thank you very much!
