How Do You Find Peace When Sex and Family Planning Don’t Go as Planned? | Ep. 144

from Reclaiming Catholic Intimacy · host Ellen Holloway

Ellen and Kathleen discuss the topic of finding peace when sex and family planning don't go as planned. They delve into how controlling sexual outcomes can hinder the freedom and fullness that are inherent in marital intimacy. They suggest that recognizing the divine role in every sexual act and outcome, and surrendering the need for control, can lead to peace in family planning, even when things go awry. They also discuss the pressure of societal norms vis-a-vis family size, and encourage listeners to pray for peace in surrendering their families to God's divine plan.The course or guide mentioned in this episode is no longer sold, but the help you’re looking for is still available.
