Should Birth Control Be Discussed
Do you think that Birth Control should be discussed before you are married or should you both being Christians already have a view on the matter?
Well, even if you're both Christians and already had views on the topic, shouldn't it be discussed to make sure that you're sharing the same view exactly?
In a nutshell then... yes, I do think it ought to be discussed before any method is put into practice!
It definitely needs to be discussed before marriage, in the context of the larger discussion about the size of family you each want. Engagement is a time to discuss some of those matters which would be awkward as just boyfriend and girlfriend, but which must be agreed upon before marriage. For Christian couples especially, it is important to get on the same page spiritually before marriage, and part of that coming together is to discuss family planning and both people's religious views on the subject.
