There Is No Wealth But Life

Yes, you heard right. When it comes to NFP, I do the charting. Why? What sort of question is that?

Ladies, look at your man. Now back to me. Now back at your man. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me. But if he started writing down your fertility signs he could chart like me.

Look down. Where are you? You’re on a blog with the man your man could chart like. What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It’s a chart with your signs for the past six months. Look again. The chart has now helped you avoid or achieve pregnancy without any tension or misunderstandings.

Anything is possible when your man charts like a man. I’m already married.

. . .

I wasn’t always like this. At the beginning of our marriage I could barely even read a chart. What happened? I looked at my wife. She looked at me. Back at my wife. Back at me. Sadly, I wasn’t the man your man could chart like.

She handed me the chart. Sadly, I still wasn’t the man your man could chart like.

I forgot to chart. She reminded me. I forgot again. She looked at me. Exhausted one night, I remembered to chart. Look again. Now I was the man your man could chart like.

Why? Because I am married to a woman who is patient and persistent enough to let me chart things even when she could chart circles around me.

Look at my wife. Now back to you. Now back to my wife. Now back to you. Sadly, you aren’t she. But if you started being patient enough to let him chart things, your husband could chart like me.
