In this episode Ellen and Kathleen explore the topic of chastity within marriage, emphasizing that chastity goes beyond merely abstaining from sex. They discuss the deep and abundant grace available through the sacrament of marriage and how living out chastity can enhance marital intimacy and union. The conversation covers the Catechism's teachings on chastity for all baptized individuals, regardless of marital status. They debunk common misconceptions about chastity, highlighting its importance across different life states and within marriage, where it encompasses engaging in sexual relations healthily and wholesomely. The episode also touches on inappropriate behaviors that contradict chastity in marriage and offers practical advice on fostering intimacy and maintaining a chaste relationship, especially during times when sexual activity must be avoided.
