**Motives and Ends of Marriage (pg 314 in Council of Trent Catechism)**
1. "companionship ... bearing more easily the discomforts of life and infirmities of old age"
2. "desire of family ... to bring up children in the true faith and in the service of God"
3. to avoid sins of lust (pg. 315)
Here Pope Paul VI mentions “serious reasons” (seriis causis) with four kinds of conditions (to use NFP):
Physical conditions
Economic conditions
Psychological conditions
Social conditions

My husband had a reversal 13 months ago, and I am due in 2 weeks with our first reversal baby (baby #4). I have to thank you because watching the video you and your husband posted about this topic on your old channel really helped in our discernment process. Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring others ❤
Praise God!
@@Kasher18 Congratulations!! What joy I feel in reading this. Thank you for sharing! I'll be praying for you during this time of impending labor and delivery. Enjoy this baby snuggles. I know you will!!!
@@bloominginthelight thank you so much for the prayers! I will be praying for you as well 🤍🙏🏻
Laura, I prayed for you in mass this morning. I want to share what our priest said today in his homily. In speaking about his dream that the church would be filled with so many priests that we don’t know what to do with them and so many children that you are tripping over them, he spoke about people not wanting to have children or more for various reasons, especially for financial reasons. He said, remember that God’s generosity is always more than your sacrifice. It just touched my heart so much because it is a beautiful reminder that our sacrifices are meaningful. It has been hard on us having a 4th child (I am pregnant and due in December), but this is hopeful.
@@TheCatholicHomemaker Thank you so much!! Congratulations on #4!!! I'll have to message you so we can catch up!
Amen! Thanks again laura for you and your husband's testimony, thanks to both of you and to mother Mary and intercession of Saint Joseph we got our reversal and are expecting our 3rd child after 10 years, I'm 38 weeks almost there...all for God's glory, may our Lord bless you and favor you for sharing such an incredible testimony, i will never forget the night I found your video, it was the beginning of reparation...thank you very much, and yes fo everyone reading this every woman has hope until menopause actually culminates...being open to life is all we need and believe God knows the best, let His will be done, thank you Jesus, thank you Mother, let your will be done in Laura's life
@@luisarecinos5765 Luisa, I'm so happy for you! What a blessing. Thank you for sharing!
Your video 4 years ago convicted me of our gravest sin of vasectomy . I prayed that my husband would reverse for almost 4 years and we have a date in November. Thank you for your steadfast faithfulness to sharing your story. praying for the Lord to bless you again with a baby.
@@tamerakavanaugh6719 I will be praying the procedure is a resounding success!! Please email me the date (or share here) and I'll say extra prayers for you on that day! Either way, there are so many graces with the reversal alone!
@@bloominginthelight thank you so much ❤️ 11/20 at 715 am.
What a wonderful video, Laura, so hopeful! I needed this - am 44, in a difficult marriage, with endometriosis, suboptimal fertility, and almost losing hope for a second little miracle. It would be wonderful if my daughter had a sibling! Wishing you all the best on your journey, may the good Lord bless you and your family!
@@joannateresa4260 I offered my beautiful Latin Mass for everyone who commented here. Praying for your journey!
Even after 11 years a reversal can work. I am 40. It did for us. We were blessed in February with our baby after two second trimester miscarriages. I do have to say that we did use supplements to boost supply and increase motility. We didn't use it for 7months and didn't get pregnant. The month the supplement was started we got pregnant. Also was used in the two previous pregnancies.
@@cedarparkwayfarm Oh, my heart breaks for your miscarriages! Yet God is so good and I'm so happy for you and your blessed child!! Thank you for sharing.
Please share the supplement for myself and others!! I have Ryan on a lot of vitamins. 😉
Second comment to add having a baby in your 40s as a woman drastically increases your life expectancy!!! 🙏🙌
I’ve had 3 in my 40s. I tell mine I’m living to 100! 😂❤
My husband had a reversal 6 years ago. We're about to have our 5th child since the reversal - baby number 7. I'm 43. My husband is a smoker too :) There is hope. I will be praying for you, Laura.
Wow! You just gave me so much hope. And I LOVE your story so much! I see you have a YT handle. Do you have any videos I could link with your story?
@@bloominginthelight Yes I do! ua-cam.com/video/jptfQsbC6FI/v-deo.html
🙏
I'm happy for the update on this topic. It's the reason I started following you. I have had crippling sterilization regret for four years now. I told my husband, but he is adamant he does not want more children. He also had complications with his vas and is not comfortable pursuing another procedure. I feel like I can't press that because it's his body. Still, I believe there are more children meant for me. It's very painful.
Pray that he may consider doing the surgery but the sin of sterilization has physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual consequences. The Church does not require anyone to have a reversal surgery, but you may offer up your pain and suffering as reparation or penance for (perhaps) encouraging him or remaining silent (sin of omission). Don’t lose hope. Don’t ask your husband for the reversal, ask God to put it on his heart. Men don’t like being told what to do, and if you “nag” he may resist your request. Pray for his conversion if he is unrepentant. The biggest concern is his soul, not whether or not he gets the reversal surgery.
@@Dutchgirldar I wanted a reversal for a long time before my husband did, so I just prayed for him and for our discernment process. He came around after doing Exodus 90 and reading the St. Joseph consecration book. I also credit our daily family rosaries. Keep praying, and entrust him to the Holy Family. 🤍🙏🏻
Beautiful meditation on the visitation! Thank you for sharing
Nothing is impossible with God! ❤🙏
Yes!
Such a beautiful video!! I hope so many Catholics get to watch this. We can’t have anymore babies naturally (I had my tubes removed for medical reasons) but !!! We are considering embryo adoption!! Very excited.
Also !! If you could do grade 1/2 over again, what homeschool curriculum would you use??
I'm a HUGE fan of the CMEC and if God blesses us with more children (or grandchildren) that would 100% be where I'd go and stay for 12-13 years! Charlotte Mason. With hand-holding.
@@samanthasmorong7519 Do embryo adoption place the baby on your womb? I haven't heard much about this option before!
🙏
Not Catholic, i use an implant. I have pmdd and would be divorced, alone and have no relationship with my children MONTHLY if i had a cycle. I'm abusive when i have a cycle.
I COMPLETELY agree that nobody goes to their death beds wishing they had less kids. My husband and I say "you regret the kids you don't have, not the kids you have". We have a 13, 4 and one year old. And we'd love to have more. Praise Jesus, we don't "try" to have kids. I get my implant removed for the purpose of getting pregnant and we succeed instantly.
Not saying that to be insensitive. But we co-create life with God. There are no accidental children. His timing is perfect and He makes no mistakes.
Still praying for you! And wondering if a second reversal is a thing.
Sister, you sound like a Protestant Christian, I must inform you that many forms of birth control like the pill, patch, injections and IUD are abortifacients because they thin the lining of the uterus so that the fertilized egg cannot implant or simply create a toxic environment so that the fertilized egg cannot survive and be “expelled”.
@@ssh6414 Thank you for the prayers. I'm so sorry the medical field has failed you. Our menstrual cycle, including PMS, is our 5th vital sign. PMDD likely means your hormones are imbalanced and you need to fast and do other things to correct that, in order to protect your health in the future.
I suggest listening to Dr Mindy. She's a big advocate for women's health.
Also, you may enjoy FemmeHead. She talks a lot about natural ways to space children and recovering from the toxins found in IUDs. Please look into the abortive aspects of IUDs as well.
All Christians, all sacramental marriages, are ordained by God (see Genesis) to be procreative. And only God decides this number. Natural methods still allow for God to be ultimately in control.
I will pray for your discernment and for healing from PMDD. That's a heavy cross, and yet there are ways to cope and heal. So much of the mindfulness training I've been doing has helped me approach my own PMS with compassion and self-care.
Many types of contraception have the potential to be abortifacients. It use to be that all Christians churches taught that contraception was sinful. These contraceptives include IUDs, copper IUDS, pills, patches and injections. First, many of them prevent or delay ovulation. If that doesn’t work, and you do ovulate, some of them dry out or thicken the cervical mucus so that the sperm cannot reach the egg. If that fails, and the sperm does reach the egg, then a baby is conceived. Finally, depending on the contraceptive, two things can happen. It thins out the uterine lining so that the baby cannot attach to the wall and is “expelled” from the uterus OR the uterine is made “inhospitable” and the baby dies and is expelled.
