Women turn to natural family planning techniques because the method meshes with their ethical, moral and spiritual beliefs, Mickelson [Julie Mickelson, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Columbia St. Mary's Milwaukee Campus] said. In addition, it tends to increase communication between couples, she said.However, natural family planning is not easy.
Some would consider that redundant to saying it involves increased communication between spouses.
It's time consuming and requires a daily commitment of charting and monitoring, Mickelson said.Natural family planning classes are taught through the Marquette University Institute on Natural Family Planning and The Couple to Couple League, a non-profit group whose trained volunteers teach the technique to married and engaged couples.
The method also is encouraged by the Catholic Church because it "reflects the dignity of the human person within the context of marriage and family life, promotes openness to life and recognizes the value of the child," according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Maybe there'd be some cachet to also calling it "organic" or "crunchy con-traception" depending on the audience.
