There are women, however, with serious, hormone-related medical conditions (e.g., polycystic ovarian syndrome or severe endometriosis) that impair fertility and may even cripple their ability to function on a daily basis. God heals some of these women miraculously, and others can find healing through natural methods; for the rest, The Pill is the best medical treatment available. Their bodies are unable to produce a balanced mix of reproductive hormones, and The Pill fills in the gaps--much like Synthroid does for someone with hypothyroidism.

So, while I agree with your reasons for not using The Pill purely as birth control, I recognize (and try to help others recognize) that there are women who need it for medical reasons and deserve our compassion and support, not criticism.

While I understand feeling torn between honoring God or honoring your husband, in this instance (as in most) to honor your husband is to honor God. Look at John 1:13; God understands that this is ultimately a husband's decision. God sees your heart of wanting to please him, and he sees your husband's fears as well as his desires to be the best dad he can be. He can change your husband's heart, as you know, or He can overrule your husband's decision, or He can let your husband choose. If that is what He allows, you can rest assured He will use it for good in both your life and for His glory.

The Bible right to use moral birth control methods.

I am an NFP teacher. I can attest from personal experience that when one has a serious need to postpone or avoid pregnancy, abstinence brings many spiritual blessings!:) The concept of abstinence is totally foreign to our culture today. Even Christians can be affected by our culture's assumption that we are entitled to sex, food, entertainment, etc. anytime we desire. (I, for one, used to think this way.) This is simply not true. Abstinence can be very difficult at times, however, the ease or difficulty of abstinence is generally proportional to the degree of seriousness to avoid or postpone pregnancy. The more serious the need to avoid pregnancy (in general), the easier it becomes to abstain.

Contraception, including barrier methods, says, "I take you for the better (sexual pleasure), but not for the imagined worse of another pregnancy." Contraception is conditional. It says, "I accept this part of you, but not that part of you." Natural Family Planning says, "I love you and I will forego this pleasure for a greater cause (health and well-being of spouse, family, dire financial situation, etc."

Couples who abstain from sexual union rather than contracept learn to show their love in other non-genital ways. This strengthens the marriage and can form in each spouse the fruits of the Spirit: patience, self-control, charity, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, and chastity. These are the same virtues that are required for a life-long, happy marriage.

The longest we have had to abstain completely was 3 months straight. I was breastfeeding our 4th child and my fertility was due to return @ 14 months after the birth of our son. My fertility signs were ambiguous so we abstained until I got my periods back which totalled @ 3 months. Honestly, the long abstinence was difficult but bearable because we had prayed about it and felt that we needed to "take a little break." Two of our four children were subsequently diagnosed with chronic illnesses. So, we see that God, in His wisdom, guided us.
