"I have to agree! Your wife's sanity is so important (and her belief that she can handle the kids now).
First, I am sure that if you were blessed with third child now, God would give your wife the grace to handle all that came her way. But, I…"
Erika Drain replied to peterwp's discussion Struggles with NFP and How to Support Wife?"Hi Peter! My DH and I (he's sitting right next to me and reading your post) practice NFP but we use a different model than the Couple to Couple League, we use Creighton.

"I second looking into ecological breastfeeding as a practical way of both spacing the children a little more, giving mom the extra time her body needs to repair and eventually be able to produce another healthy baby AND mom. I have 11 children, all…"

My wife and I have been practicing NFP since we were married three years ago. Well, we practiced it for 2 months casually and were open to children, so God gifted us with a new life. My wife got her period back one time after fertility returned when the first child was ~9 months old. We became pregnant after not recording temperatures as much as we should and not abstaining.
