It’s Spring, which means wedding season is upon us! And when it comes to a wedding, most women can probably tell you exactly what they...

Cervical mucus. It might a little uncomfortable for people to talk about or think about but as we like to say: if you can discuss cervical mucus, you can discuss anything. So consider this your opportunity! Cervical mucus is a very important symptom that you can easily learn to observe and be aware of and in doing so get lots of valuable information about your health. The more in tune you are with your body and it's normal functions, and the deviations thereof, the more you

We are living in very crazy times *commence head spinning*. Everything seems to be bursting in flames or increasing in price (okay maybe I am being a bit dramatic). Either way life is not the same as it was even 3 years ago. But one thing is still true, date nights are very important to your relationship. You need that time to connect and unwind with your loved one. Unfortunately hitting up your favorite restaurant and a movie may not fit the budget, seriously when did going

By Chris Kennedy So let's do it like we do on the discovery channel? Our world is full of so many images both good and bad and we, as men , are very visual.

As a Creighton Practitioner, we are trained to help couples to both achieve AND avoid pregnancies. As a lot of people know, Creighton has...

“Catholic contraception”, an oxymoron if ever there was one. But there are many people who use this term to define Creighton Model Fertility Care (CrMS) (and other methods of Natural Family Planning for that matter). However, CrMS and contraception by no means belong in the same category. Here’s why… With the use of a form of contraception , whether it is a physical barrier (condom) or a chemical barrier ( pill , or other hormonal device) you are interrupting or impeding th

Volumes have been written on this topic and a blog post can only barely scratch the surface, but hopefully this can be a first step in deepening your understanding of the purpose of our human sexuality. Sexual intercourse was designed by God and like everything He made, it was designed to be very, very good. As with anything God created, it is most beautiful and fulfilling when it’s used the way God designed it to be used. There’s a concept in philosophy called “teleology”. T
