S.P.I.C.E Up Your Relationship
Use of a natural method of family planning, such as the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, celebrates the unique relationship between a husband and wife. Humans are multi-dimensional and the way we relate to one another is as well. An important component of FertilityCare is a holistic approach to human sexuality. Men are always fertile, women are, for the most part, infertile. When we talk about fertility, it is really only meaningful to discuss the combined fertility of the couple which requires understanding the woman’s cyclical variations. Bloom Cycle Care specializes in teaching the FertilityCare System, an all natural method of observing and charting a woman’s cycle. You will learn to understand, recognize, and interpret the naturally occurring times of fertility and infertility every woman experiences.
When a couple honors these naturally occurring windows of fertility and infertility in each cycle, it requires refraining from gential contact at times if it is their intention to avoid a pregnancy. And while there are times genital contact should be avoided, sexual contact should never be avoided. Sound challenging? Absolutely. The goal is all about giving and receiving love. This can be done in so many different ways other than through genital contact only. Learning to communicate in more varied ways helps to develop true intimacy and trust which are critical to a happy and long lasting relationship.
A specific tool to help deepen your relationship is referred to as S.P.I.C.E. Sexual contact involves the total person and is spiritual, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional. Developing each area of SPICE builds stronger and more intimate bonds between a couple. You can accept the whole person that is your spouse and not just parts of them. Essentially what you are saying is, “I choose to love and accept all of you, including your fertility. I don’t want you changing or modifying or suppressing such an integral part of what makes you, YOU!” The couple SHARES the responsibility and accountability of using the FertilityCare System how they choose, whether that is to avoid or achieve a pregnancy.
Spiritual - Physical - Intellectual - Creative - Emotional
The FertilityCare System educates women and couples in understanding and supporting their shared fertility. It is modern, safe, all natural, reliable, and scientifically supported. Family planning should not come at the expense of a woman’s health and dignity. FertilityCare helps guide the couple in enhancing their communication and encourages a deeper understanding of what it means to be in a relationship that values vulnerability, honesty, sacrifice, and trust.
