MARITAL EDUCATION IN TEXAS

Marital Education—83% of Texas schools do not teach young people how to prevent pregnancy or avoid disease, leading to Texas being fifth in teen pregnancy, first in repeat teen pregnancy, and third in HIV rates in the Unites States. Even if abstinent until marriage, young people need contraceptive information to plan their families and avoid disease. This book tackles the problem head-on, providing a summary of each type of modern pregnancy and disease prevention methods, including fertility awareness based methods, barrier methods, hormonal methods, and IUDs. It discusses the most common reasons for failure of each type of birth control, and provides instructions for use and for reducing the failure rate. Using two or even three types of birth control at the same time provides overlapping protection and reduces the risks. “Treble-Up—Use three forms of birth control.”
