My friend has a question

[kristyau]

My friend (who doesn't like going on forums) is 'QF' with NFP (I personally don't believe is QF - but that's another story). She gave birth to her 5 th baby almost 6 months ago, and her hubby hasn't touched her since because he is too scared of her falling pregnant. They both have used NFP in the past and it has worked every time, but he is worried it may not work this time. He doesn't want her pregnant again, because every time she is pregnant she gets very exhausted and spends most of the time on bedrest, leaving most everything up to hubby - which he in turn ends up exhausted.
Advice???

IMO, your friends need to sit down and really communicate what's Really going on each other's heads. They need to share how they each feel about their fertility, and the reality of how they are handling their marriage and family. It sounds to me that "being exhausted when she's pregnant" is an excuse. It's Normal to be exhausted during pregnancy and after birthing. It's exhausting being a parent, period! It doesn't matter How old your kids are, it's exhausting! lol

IMO, if your friends just can't agree at this time on being QF, then it's time to take a break, use some barrier form of bc, and PRAY until they both get a clear answer from the Lord on what He wants them to do.
