[quote=Anonymous]Agree that if you really want to understand Church teaching on this, follow the link given above to Humanae Vitae (which I may be misspelling).  Part of the idea of openness to children is that sex then becomes not just a pleasurable recreational act, like skiing, but a sharing in the life-giving force that is God.  The creation of a child by the husband and wife mirrors the love embodied in the relationships between the three persons of the Holy Trinity.  At least that is how I understand it.  I was not raised Catholic, nor was my husband, and we both used birth control before and during our marriage until we converted after having our children.  We stopped using birth control after we converted.  I wish I had understood the Church's theology of the body my whole life, because sex and my marriage would have been much richer.  I really admire the young families who make a commitment to natural family planning and envy them the special connection it gives the couples to one another and to God.[/quote]
