Two Become Family
Welcome to the podcast that talks about Catholic marriage, without pretending it's easy.
We are Renzo and Monica Ortega, we've been married 13 years, we have 5 kids, and our apostolate, Two Become Family, helps Catholics who love the Church, love each other, and still have no idea why marriage feels so hard sometimes.
Through our very candid, and sometimes uncomfortably vulnerable, conversations about sex, NFP, conflict, family life, we hope to spark conversations between you and your spouse.

When Should We Start Having Kids? Fertility Awareness, NFP, and Why Children Are Gifts
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today's episode we talk to St. John Paul about having kids and we ask when the bets time to have kids is. We are reminded about the gift that kids are, we talk about the difference that Fertility Awareness, Fertility Awareness Based Methods, and Natural Family Planning have made in our decision to have our 5 children, and Monica shares a little bit about how she came to learn FA/NFP.
