My girlfriend and I are going to get married one day. And we are wanting to know what will be good and bad for birth control after we wed. Is there a better way. We don't want the hassle of condoms. A Christian perspective would be nice on this question but not required.

Go and discuss your needs with your doctor.
Most ladies just go on the pill, but there are lots of options.

The Christian perspective is God allows you to choose when to have children. If you want children right away and are prepared for them, then don't use birth control. If you feel like you need time together as a married couple, if you don't own a home yet, and/or if you're in a lot of debt, then use birth control until you're prepared for a family.
The most reliable forms of birth control are the pill, the IUD that uses hormones, the Depo-Provera shot and the patch or ring. You and your fiancee can talk to her gynecologist about what method is best for you. Barrier methods are unreliable and inconvenient, but some people don't mind using them. I'm sure they have other methods out there that I don't know about because I haven't needed birth control in a long time.
I think you are worried that if your wife uses birth control and gets pregnant that the birth control will kill the baby. This is not true. I was concerned about this with an IUD, and you will have to discuss this with a doctor, but mine told me that an IUD is like the other methods, and just prevents fertilization.
Educate yourself, and then you can make the best decision.

Before my husband and I got married, all the way up to the day of our wedding. We used both condoms as well as I was on birthcontrol. After we got married, we stopped using the condoms and I just stuck with the birthcontorl. Then once we opted to start a family, I stopped taking the pills.
If you aren't ready for children, then you can either use a condom or she can go on the pill. And then once you are ready, stop using them. No point in bringing a child into the world that you aren't ready for, no matter your religion.

There is NO birth control method on the market that is 100% effective so if YOU don't want babies You'd better keep a supply of condoms handy.

Pros: Control the timing of having children.
Cons: hormonal BC can make a woman moody.
I support the use of BC.

If you don't want kids it's good. If you do want kids it's bad.
