Questions Covered:

• 21:15 - What if a spouse is unable to have sex?
• 23:26 - How can something so holy also be so misused?
• 34:20 - If two parties are willing, is it possible for sex to go beyond the childbearing purpose to be pleasurable and become a sin?
• 36:25 - Are there resources for men who struggle with abstinence during marriage?

• 46:46 - If a woman has had surgery to remove childbearing organs, should she refrain from having sex?
• 48:03 - Should sex only be pleasurable if the purpose is procreative?
• 50:12 - Can you talk about the unitive aspect of marital relations?
• 51:41 - I teach marriage prep. So many couples plan to contracept. Are those grounds for annulment?
