works together to provide every need of their children. Their role is to guide and support
their children in realizing their dreams and aspirations. Not only do parents support their
children but it is also included in building a family that the husband and wife prepare, plan,
and decide the number of children they want and when they want to have them. That is

Reflection
Family planning is very important. First of all, it helps the married couple to plan
their family. In this way, they will be both ready when the time comes. I also read an article
that family planning and its methods help some women to avoid harm. There are those
women that have crucial pregnancy. Family planning them prevent pregnancy and be
safe.
Among the methods of family planning, I think the most effective one is abstinence.
If you are not yet ready to have children, you better refrain from having sexual intercourse.
If you do not have sex, you won’t be pregnant. Unlike using other methods, abstinence
has no negative effect. Some methods, especially the artificial methods, can cause
serious diseases.
In my opinion, a man and a woman should not marry unless they want to have
children. A family is not just composed of a married man and wife. A family includes
children. So, if you are not yet ready to have children, what is the purpose of marrying?
Two people can continue loving each other without getting married.
But in the context of family planning alone, without considering other factors, I think
that it is important to educate young teens about these matters. They need to know how
to have protected sex. Let’s face it, teenagers nowadays engage in premarital sex. We
cannot stop that. But through family planning, they will be safe and protected. They will
learn how not to get pregnant and how not to acquire sexual diseases.
