Can using contraception hurt your marriage? How does birth control hurt your marriage? Well, whether spouses know it or not, using contraception turns the great sacrament of marriage into a kind of anti-sacrament or an anti-sign. Using birth control as a Catholic (which renders the sexual act sterile) actually changes the "matter" of the sacrament of marriage. In this video, we're gonna unpack Catholic teaching on contraception and look at the effect birth control has on your marriage.

I love this series, thank you for all you do! I also have a question, how do you heal from past sexual abuse in order to give yourself fully and freely (sexually) in your marriage? I'm not married yet but Thinking about any sex with a husband gives me anxiety to no end.

@@xoxobabyimbackxoxo I don’t know where you’re at with this today, hopefully healed and whole. I have some resources that have worked for me that I can offer, aside from any short advice I’d be able to give here, as someone who’s free from porn and has been celibate for 2 years. I’m no authority or saint on this matter, but I might be able to help.

@@xoxobabyimbackxoxo There’s a couple books. The first one is “Two hours to freedom.” By Charles H Kraft. It’s an outline for inviting the healing power of Jesus into any hurt or broken places inside of us. The second is more for the nurturing of one’s femininity but touches on this issue as well. Either way, I think it’d help: Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge Mainly what has helped so many woman I know become whole and holy is something called “inner healing ministry”. The first book talks about it, and should help you get started with Jesus on that journey if you haven’t already. Let me know if you have questions, sister!

We are all going to hell just for not wanting kids.

@Alicia_W413 4 ай бұрын

Who is we? There are plenty of people who want kids and see them as a blessing written about in the Holy Scriptures.

@user-br6ve4lz6n 2 ай бұрын

Well if you are the type of person who doesn't want kids, then hopefully you are pursuing some sort of vocation that serves the community in a similar fashion. Because if you simply don't want children because they get in the way of your "free time" or hobbies or whatever then it sounds like you are aiming downwards.

What if you can't afford to raise another child? Then the only way to avoid pregnancy is abstinence, the tension that will arise will cause more harm to the marriage and often lead divorce.

If you’re marriage is based on sex then there’s a problem there. Need some counseling maybe 🤔

@@thatcatholiclawyersex is a part of a healthy marriage, that doesn't mean that that the marriage is based on sex, maybe you need counseling to understand that?

⁠@@thatcatholiclawyer Paul said to not deprive one another except for the purposes of prayer and fasting. A marriage without regular sex seems to be a marriage that lacks intimacy. Maybe not, but then there is still Paul’s teaching to consider.

@jettec9411, Just make love (have sex) outside the window of your fertility. You can only make a baby during 4-5 days during the female's ovulation cycle. Or use birth control/contraception.

Also not every time you have sex you will have kids if God wants you to have kids he will allow it to happen if he does not want you to you won’t have a kid

Non-Catholics are certainly capable of admitting sin in their own lives and repenting and asking God for forgiveness. Will they be denied because they didn't confess their sins to a priest?

@dontewithdragons 10 ай бұрын

Nope. The whole "only confess to a priest" is a Myth, however the Priest is usually in a state of Grace. Only God can forgive our Sins after repentance. About over 90% of the time however people do not know how to repent and live Sinful lifestyles without admitting to themselves the errors in their disordered ways. Check what Father Mike said about the Sacrament of Confession.

@user-br6ve4lz6n 2 ай бұрын

Possibly. How do you know your sins are forgiven if you don't speak to a man officially consecrated and given authority to forgive sins on behalf of Christ? Authority that can be traced back all the way to Peter. I probably have some of the terminology wrong but you get the idea.

Go to a priest? Jesus is our High Priest! We do not need anyone else. We pray through Jesus to ask forgiveness from God! It is not up to man to judge whether someone is forgiven!
