Credidimus caritati - we have put our faith
in love
• Sexuality in marriage carries responsibilities for
both man and woman, in order that it will foster those virtues
and qualities which are necessary to make a success of the
relationship.
• Commitment, mutual love and generosity are essential
to a satisfying sexual relationship.
• Such values create a family atmosphere of harmony
and love appropriate to the physical care and psychological
development of children. Family, become what you are!
• Success in the use of the Billings Ovulation Method
depends upon the same motivation, and the exercise of the
same qualities required to make a success of the relationship.
