The Couple to Couple League (CCL) teaches a “Sympto-Thermal Method” (STM) of Natural Family Planning (NFP). The STM utilizes observations similar to the major mucus-only methods, but combines it with a temperature sign to paint a more complete picture of your fertility each month. The Couple to Couple League’s Sympto-Thermal Method has a method effectiveness of 99.6%.
Classes are taught by a Certified Teaching Couple who has gone through extensive training to become certified to teach the method. All CCL Teaching Couples are volunteers who teach NFP only because they love to see people’s lives changed through its use – not for any payment or monetary benefit.
Classes will include the science behind fertility and Natural Family Planning, the basis of the Sympto-Thermal Method, application of the method in real-life, discussion on human sexuality and theology, and the personal experience of the Teaching Couple in practicing NFP. Classes meet three times, each a month apart and the cost is $135.
To register for classes pick a date on the calendar below and follow the instructions.
The Diocese of Bismarck does NOT accept ONLINE or LIVE ONLINE classes taught by a non-diocesan teacher to fulfill the requirement for NFP. Please do NOT register for these type of classes. You are able to register for an ONLINE class, as long as it is being taught by a Diocese of Bismarck instructor. -

Instructors:
Paul and Chelsea Forster (Bismarck)
While engaged, we were struck by the joyful witness of our Couple to Couple League instructors. After practicing NFP for nearly eight years ourselves, using it both to postpone and to achieve pregnancy, and experiencing the life giving love it encourages, we wanted to share the gift of NFP with others. We believe that NFP is a tremendous gift to married couples. It has helped us to communicate more effectively and grow more deeply in our married love.
Kevin and Tammy Martian (Mandan)
Once we were married and began using NFP, we quickly realized the graces we received from it. Also, with Kevin being in pharmacy school we were bombarded with the contraceptive mentality. We became very passionate about NFP and enjoy sharing and teaching others about NFP.
Scott and Jen Johannsen (Minot)
We teach NFP because after working with couples in various formats we realize what an opportunity we have to share our struggles and less than perfect path to NFP. While working with couples helps us to remember our love for one another, it also reiterates God’s grace at work in our own lives. Class nights are a date night for us and there is no other place we would rather spend it!
