Do Birth Control or Family Planning Have a Place In Christian Marriages?

This is perhaps a question that applies to all Christians but it’s one I feel there isn’t necessarily a theological basis for a right or wrong answer, but more so a personal interpretation of scripture or a demonstration of your walk with God.



I understand God’s plan for us to be fruitful and multiply and that if he will take care of the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, then surely he will take care of us. But I still believe we have a responsibility to not unnecessarily put ourselves in situations that we’re not ready to take on. The phrase “family planning” exists for a reason and I don’t believe it’s necessarily outside the will of God to engage in it. I personally don’t view birth control in a marriage as sinful prior to wanting to conceive.

What are your thoughts? Is it okay for married Christians to use birth control?

The question should rather be,  WHY DO MOST WOMEN TENDS TO REJECT CONDOM AFTER FEW ENCOUNTERS??.
