About this Episode

Does Theology of the Body have anything to say about age difference in marriage? Is it permissable for married couples to use contraception or sterilization in cases where pregnancy is likely to cause serious health problems or death for the mother? I've been married for five years and sometimes I can't stand my husband, but I want to truly love him. . . can you help?

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.
