Keep in mind that the Catholic Church is trying to bring people to God and to help them attain the only purpose for which they are alive, to attain union with God. As long as you understand the reason that you exist on this earth, then everything else is understandable. To ignore the reason for your existence brings only unhappiness both in the short term and the long term, with the final result of an eternity suffering in hell.

There are two ends (goals) in marriage: 1) the procreation of children and 2) the love between the husband and the wife. These are the two ends for which God is established marriage. If either one of these ends is frustrated, then you have sin, not a marriage. Birth Control, as such, is considered sinful. Any attempt to have the pleasure involved in sex without the natural consequences thereto (the begetting of children) is sinful. If there are over-riding reasons to space births, which you have discussed with your confessor, and God, in prayer, and there is a just reason, then rhythm (which is periodic abstinence) used in the form of Natural Family Planning *might* be justified. The Catholic Church permits this ONLY for a just reason that a couple has prayerfully discerned and gotten an okay from their priest and confessor. Please note that the rhythm method alone is not all that effective, natural family planning is very effective but itself may be a sin if practiced for the wrong reasons or without approval from your confessor. The Catholic Church allows this as you are never having sex with the specific intention of frustrating the goal of married love: the begetting of children, even when you are having sex, you are still open to new life that God may send.
