Pro carries in-depth Bible studies on the marriage covenant and the language of total self-gift, audio devotionals on Humanae Vitae and the theology of the body, guided prayers you can pray together, worship playlists and offline access.

Modern methods are effective when a couple is taught the method properly and follows it consistently, though published effectiveness varies by method and between perfect and typical use. It respects the body's design rather than suppressing it with chemicals. It requires communication and sacrifice, which builds intimacy.
NFP asks a couple for charting, communication and periodic abstinence, and it works when the method is taught and followed carefully. A certified instructor teaches the method, and confession and your parish priest are free. Pro gives you the formation around it: in-depth Bible studies on marriage in Scripture, audio devotionals on Humanae Vitae and the theology of the body, guided prayers for husbands and wives, worship playlists and offline access. The years a marriage is being formed are the years you have now, so begin today.
