Marriage and Family Resources
There are so many Catholic resources out there for pre-marriage, marriage, and families (your family begins the moment you get married)! This is definitely going to be a constant work in progress. As the list grows, we pray that you won’t be intimidated by it all, as we once were by how much is out there. See it as a blessing! Our faith has such a rich depository to choose from that can speak to each of our unique circumstances, needs, and seasons. So don’t feel like you have to be involved in everything here to have a fruitful journey! We are firm believers that when you’re heart is open to the journey, God will lead you to what will help you each step of the way. For us personally, we find ourselves diving into different prayers and resources depending on our season.
If you have any resources, prayers, devotions, etc. that you’d like to share, we’d love to post it here!

Dr. Lauren Rubal - Integrative Fertility Physician
We came to know of this amazing Christian physician through a recent podcast (below) with Lila Rose about the truth about IVF and fertility as a whole. Once a conventional fertility doctor, Dr. Rubal now advocates and provides services for integrative fertility to administer to issues such as infertility after experiencing and realizing the gravity of the physical, emotional and spiritual impacts and consequences of conventional fertility ‘troubleshooting’ methods.
Femme Fertility (a Natural Family Planning service)
This is a natural family planning (NFP) service that we are using ourselves! NFP, stated in Femme Fertility’s FAQs is “approved by the Catholic Church Church for use by Catholic married couples to avoid or achieve pregnancy.” It is a beautiful way of collaboratively planning your family naturally by understanding how it is that God created us. There are a number of methods - Femme Fertility uses the Marquette Method. Our lovely friend Christina with Pearl and Thistle gives a great explanation of NFP and the various methods if you’re seeking to start this journey with your future or current spouse. For candid conversations about the purpose and their experience with NFP, check out our Jackie & Bobby post too!

Springs in the Desert (An infertility ministry)
A beautiful and much needed ministry to journey with those who are struggling with infertility. The vocation of marriage is not one void of challenges, and for any struggling with infertility, we pray that this ministry will speak to your hearts in understanding what it means to be life-giving. This Catholic ministry also serves as advocates to help ‘pastors, diocesan offices, and healthcare professionals’ become more aware of those carrying this cross.
