  • Plan Your Family Naturally
    Join Natural Family Planning (NFP) educators Dr. Jennifer and Matthew DeMarco as they reveal one of the Catholic Church's best kept secrets: an effective, simple, and natural approach to family planning. Today's NFP is almost 100% effective. It uses modern scientific techniques to determine when a woman is fertile or infertile, so married couples can achieve or safely postpone pregnancy. This is not the old-fashioned "Rhythm Method"! Working in harmony with nature, this approach removes any artificial barriers to the full, free, faithful, and fruitful union of husband and wife in marriage.
    The DeMarcos are joined by Chris and Dan Volpe and Damon and Melanie Owens, married couples who share their own experience of discovering, learning, and living NFP. They give heartfelt, real-life witnesses to its effectiveness, challenges, and many benefits—practical, relational, and spiritual—as they cooperate with God's design for married love.
    This 22 minute DVD answers such questions as:
    • What is NFP?
    • Won't NFP ruin our sex life?
    • Why is the divorce rate so low for couples using NFP?
    • How effective is NFP really?
    • Why don't more people know about NFP?
    • Isn't NFP too difficult for most people to learn?
    • What's so beneficial about NFP being "natural"?
    • Why does the Catholic Church approve of NFP?
  • Planifique su Familia Naturalmente
    A Spanish language introduction to NFP. This 20 minute DVD is not a "dubbed" version of the above English language film. This film is a completely different NFP introduction which features Hispanic married couples who practice NFP.
    Funded by a grant from the USCCB Committee for the Church in Latin America, and assisted by the USCCB NFP Program, this introduction to NFP is a must in marriage preparation and enrichment education!
