Episode Details

Catholic married women, have you ever thought that you might have limiting beliefs about sex in your marriage? 

Have you ever envisioned that you could experience sex with your husband as

• nourishing
• comforting
• rejuvenating
• delightful
• playful
• tender
• sweet
• wild
• and so much more! 

What gets in the way of these positive types of experiences? Obstacles can include an obligation sex mindset, lack of emotional connection, ignorance, or spousal selfishness. When obstacles are removed and problems are solved, sex can be so beautiful in a wide variety of positive ways.

Sarah helps expand your thoughts about what can be possible in sex--all based in Catholic teaching.

• Catechism of the Catholic Church 2362 "'The acts in marriage by which the intimate and chaste union of the spouses takes place are noble and honorable; the truly human performance of these acts fosters the self-giving they signify and enriches the spouses in joy and gratitude.' Sexuality is a source of joy and pleasure: 'The Creator himself . . . established that in the [generative] function, spouses should experience pleasure and enjoyment of body and spirit. Therefore, the spouses do nothing evil in seeking this pleasure and enjoyment. They accept what the Creator has intended for them. At the same time, spouses should know how to keep themselves within the limits of just moderation.'"
