Hi, I'm Edward Sree, and welcome to all things Catholic, where real faith meets real life.

Most young couples getting ready for marriage look forward to intimacy.

They think it's going to be amazing.

It's going to be great, and in many ways it is, but they're not often ready for, or some

of the challenges that might come up in the marital relationship, whether it's early

on in the marriage, or after a couple of babies, or later in life, this part of the marriage

relationship can become a challenge.

My wife and I have talked about this in some series we did on this podcast back in the

fall, and we did a number of questions that you all brought to us back last October and

November.

There were so many questions that we mentioned that we were going to do a follow-up Q&A episode

all on the topic of marital intimacy, because we wanted to get to all your questions, and

we promised that we would do that in early 2023.

So here we are.

So welcome to the special edition of all things Catholic.

I'm your host, Edward Sree, and I have my lovely wife with us here to join us for today.

Hello, everybody.

So again, we, first of all, just want to really thank you so much.

So many of you said in very honest, heartfelt questions about many of the struggles that

can happen in this part of the marriage relationship, and so we're so grateful for

you sharing your hearts and being vulnerable and wanting to get a little guidance from

this.
