Episode 178: Tough NFP conversations: the No Fly List continues for the Uncharted Catholic Man

Craig discussed the challenges he and his wife face in their decision to avoid getting pregnant again due to their advanced age and the responsibilities they already have with their nine children. He emphasized that despite their openness to life, they have legitimate reasons not to try for another child. He also shared that his wife was willing to consider pregnancy if necessary, which was a difficult prospect for him. Craig stressed the importance of intimacy and support in marriage and the difficulties faced by those in prolonged abstinence. He concluded by expressing the need for better understanding and support within the church community for those facing these issues.
