I am very glad for people who enjoy good
communication in their relationships,
regardless of their choice of birth
control. I do not believe that people
who do not use nfp have bad communication.
All i'm saying is that it tends to be
that when a couple uses the pill or
something similar, usually the man is
pretty uninvolved in the woman's emotional
issues with the possibility of getting
pregnant, just as long as she takes her
pill, that's all I care about. I felt
this in my own marriage. Not every one
does but it is definitely not uncommon.
You can communicate in other ways about a
million other things, but in this area,
that seems to be the trend. With nfp,
however, both partners are involved in
being aware of where the woman is at in
her cycle and deciding how they feel about
using this method, the chances of getting
pregnant and what to do in case. This
usually allows people to talk about things
they may not talk about normally--future,
family, committment, support for one
another, trusting one another, as well as
helping to breech sexual conversations
that some couples, regardless of how
sexually active they are, sometimes avoid
entirely.
I was simply stating that nfp helps
establish and grow good communication
between partners, simply a benefit not a
death blow to other forms of birth
control.
