You're allowed to have s*x during infertile periods/after menopause etc. I didn't defend the idea that men should force themselves onto their wives, but if you want a happy marriage I think responding to the desires of your partner is a healthy practice.
If you're actually curious you can look at St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body https://stmarys-waco.org/documents/2016/9/theology_of_the_body.pdf for a deeper explanation of why. The Church was actually very prescient in their predictions of what would occur societally with the adoption of birth control and abortion. People today aren't as happy as past generations, Catholics believe that these topics are directly interrelated.
That's a happy coincidence of women not always being fertile. You can't deny that fertility is a core aspect of Catholicism. It is of all Abrahamic religions really, but they are on top with some sects of Islam and Orthodox Jews. Mormons are even allowed to use contraceptives for frick sakes.

It's not a coincidence, it's nature. No !Christians (Mormons don't count lol sorry @TracingWoodgrains ) allowed contraception prior to the Anglican Lambeth Conference in the 20th century. It's historically anachronistic to assume that modern sexual ethics are good or desirable social norms. It gives me some comfort to know that my progeny will outlive the modern lib positions. But have fun getting old with no legacy to speak of, relying on !Pinoypride nurses to ease you into your lonely death.

Why are you being so combative? I moved to the Philippines to help take care of my wife's mom after her father passed away within the first couple years of marriage. We chose to wait a while due to figuring out how to handle the logistics. It's been a difficult transition for everyone involved.
The plan currently is to begin actively trying in the next few months when a real estate dispute here is resolved.

What? Learn about the menstrual cycle there's about 7-10 days a month on average that a woman can get pregnant. If you're determined to avoid children, you have s*x in the other 2/3-3/4 of the month and your chances are very low. Catholic belief is that it has to be open to life in the sense that you don't engage in sodomy, not that every single instance has to occur with the goal of producing a child. The unitive properties of s*x are important too.

Work on reducing the coomerisms and it does get easier man. I recovered from opiate/alcohol addiction and until I started to exercise a routine of basic self control. You are strong enough. You are capable. You are worth it.

how do you deal with your sexual desires in a healthy way?

Get married. It also gets easier when you break bad habits... but for many/most it's one of the harder things to deal with as a Christian.

Get married and only have s*x with your wife for reproductive purposes? I'd assume that would only be like three to five times, ever, right?
