Sex and Marriage, Part 1: Emotional Unit...

ASCENSION
About this episode

How can sex be so beautiful and so bewildering at the same time? Using lessons learned from St. John Paul II's Love and Responsibility, Dr. Edward and Beth Sri reflect on the emotional connections within marital intimacy, and how a couples' preparing their own emotional climate can be the key to achieving deeper physical and spiritual intimacy.

Snippet from the Show
The heart of sex is not physical pleasure, but what that pleasure points to: a deeper interpersonal union--physically, emotionally, and spiritually--of husband and wife.
