The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to learn if the multi-level, community-based family planning intervention, known as the Family Health=Family Wealth (FH=FW) program, can improve family planning outcomes in couples of reproductive age in Uganda. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does FH=FW participation reduce unintended pregnancy and increase contraceptive uptake among couples who say they want to delay pregnancy over 24-months? 2. Does FH=FW participation reduce discontinuation of contraceptive methods for those who adopt them over 24-months? 3. What factors affect the implementation of the FH=FW intervention? Researchers will compare change in the above outcomes in couples receiving the FH=FW intervention to those who instead receive a water, sanitation, and hygiene intervention. Couples in the FH=FW arm will be asked to attend 6 groups sessions whe
