She explained that she believed Christian couples should not attempt to limit the number of children they have or to space them out in any way, writing that God would then take over the family planning: There "is" an alternative to scheming and plotting how many babies to have and when to have them. It can be summed up in three little words: trust and obey. If God is willing to plan my family for me (and we Christians all do believe that God loves us and has a wonderful plan for our lives), then why should I muddle up his plan with my ideas? Only God knows the future. Only he knows how much money we will have next year, or when I will reach menopause, or when his Kingdom will desperately need the unique talents of my yet-to-be-conceived son or daughter. Why not leave the driving up to him?Pride's rejection of every method of family planning in "The Way Home" was soon noticed by prominent members of the Couple to Couple League, a Catholic natural family planning (NFP) movement. John and Sheila Kippley in their "The Art of Natural Family Planning" describes how representatives of the organization contacted Pride to express concerns over her position. In 1989, Pride in her "HELP for Growing Families" periodical published portions of the correspondence between the Kippleys' and herself, during which Pride accepted NFP use only for couples who wished to remain healthy until they were ready to use no fertility control at all. Sheila Kippley credits the correspondence as the reason why Pride accepted NFP in such circumstances in her sequel, "All the Way Home".
