A healthy family planning policy encourages couples to have open and honest discussions about their future family planning goals, to consider potential risks and benefits of their chosen method(s) of contraception, and to be aware of their legal rights and responsibilities around family planning decisions. Couples should also be aware of any medical or financial implications that could arise due to their family planning decisions. Additionally, couples should be aware of the resources available to them for helpful guidance about family planning, such as premarital classes, counseling, and support groups.
