Married love differs from any other love in the world. By its nature, the love of husband and wife is so complete, so ordered to a lifetime of communion with God and each other, that it is open to creating a new human being they will love and care for together.

NFP is a way of following God’s plan for achieving and/or avoiding pregnancy. It consists of ways to achieve or to avoid pregnancy for a just reason using the physical means that God has built into human nature.
 
The NFP requirement for the Diocese of Austin is included in the marriage preparation classes, however, you are encouraged to choose a method you would like to learn and contact the instructors for further study.

The CrMS teaches women to observe certain biological signs to monitor their own gynecological health, and to identify times of fertility and infertility. These biological signs include cervical mucus and bleeding patterns, and can be observed and analyzed in all types of menstrual cycles. These signs are charted daily to give a picture of the woman's individual cycle. Doctors can use the fertility charts which couples are taught to keep as the basis for further investigations if needed.
