I think there is some leeway in terms of pre-conceptive means. Simply stated, though, the best way to avoid pregnancy is to abstain from sex. It\'s really a perfect solution. If you aren\'t ready to bring forth the fruit of your Marriage (children) then simply don\'t \\"fertilize the field\\" so to say. However, if you are ready to bring forth the fruit of your Marriage then you must be also ready to tend to the \\"garden\\", to make sure it is healthy, water it, protect it and help it grow straight and strong every step of the way. Without this very real and Blessed miracle of procreation, bringing forth children into the world, \\"fertilizing\\" the field becomes a mere act, meaningless. (This is not withstanding such cases where couples can\'t bring forth the \\"fruit\\" of their Holy Matrimony.) Having children is intrinsically connected to, as it the result of, the consummation of Holy Marriage. Separating the result from the process renders the latter meaningless not unlike tending to and caring for a field which you do not plan to sow.
