About this Episode

Questions answered this episode:

  • I’m struggling with the line between desire and lust in the context of marriage. Can I watch my wife shower and not fall into lust?
  • What is it about marriage that makes desires and actions that, if otherwise took place outside of it would be sinful, not sinful?
  • Will heaven get better after the end times? Will heaven be lacking something when only our souls are there awaiting our reunion with out glorified bodies?

Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II’s beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.
