GOOD FOR YOUR BODY AND SOUL
Natural family planning helps couples “to experience the unity and grace that comes from living out marriage the way God intends.”
– Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila
Through these courses in Natural Family Planning (NFP), you will learn to understand the natural cycles of fertility and infertility, and grow in your realization of how important and vital these gifts really are. You will appreciate your own fertility as a normal and healthy part of your life and marriage.
Natural Family Planning strengthens the marital relationship. It increases the quality and frequency of communication between the spouses. Couples find that the love and respect they have for each other grows as their understanding and appreciation of their fertility increases.
Natural Family Planning is:
- Safe
- Natural
- Inexpensive to Use
- Scientific
- Effective
- A Shared System between Husband and Wife
All Natural Family Planning courses and methods provide teaching on:
- The biology of how NFP works
- Method effectiveness
- How to make daily observations
- How to chart
- The Catholic Church’s teaching on marital love and sexuality

Learning NFP is Simple
The Office of Evangelization and Family Life Ministries currently promotes and sponsors four different live courses and one online course.
If taking these courses for marriage preparation, please note that all of these courses require at least 3 MONTHS of instruction before your wedding, so early registration is important. Additional time may be needed if your wedding is outside of the Archdiocese of Denver. Read below for further description and registration information on the different options available to you.
