The Couple to Couple League
www.ccli.org: Linda Kracht, author of Daughters Forever/Sons Forever and the Art of Breastfeeding is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Couple to Couple League for Natural Family Planning. It is a favorite organization of the Kracht family because its values sync with theirs. They have taught and been a member of the Couple to Couple League for their entire marriage. CCL’s mission and vision and purpose is explained on their web site but its main purpose is to teach other couples how they can identify and rely on the natural processes and rhythms found within their own physiology and make-up, and use that knowledge to naturally plan their family size. The organization also teaches couples why this natural approach is God’s order for marriage. CCL has always taught why breastfeeding is best for baby, mother, father and society and how couples can identify the return of fertility following childbirth. Contact them at www.ccli.org.
