The summary of conclusions for the abstract for the 2021 journal article ''Natural Family Planning and Marital Chastity: The Effects of Periodic Abstinence on Marital Relationships'' published in the journal ''The Linacre Quarterly'' indicates: "Summary: This study showed that ever-use of natural family planning (NFP) among ever-married women was associated with 58 percent lower odds of divorce than among women who never-used NFP. Ever-use of contraceptive methods was associated with two times the odds of divorce and four times for cohabitation compared to those women who never-used those methods. Use of periodic abstinence with NFP is the practice of marital chastity and is thought to strengthen the marital relationship."<ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33487745/ ''Natural Family Planning and Marital Chastity: The Effects of Periodic Abstinence on Marital Relationships''], ''The Linacre Quarterly''. 2021 Feb;88(1):42-55. doi: 10.1177/0024363920930875.
