Reading TOB, NFP Struggles & Old Loves | ACW248

Questions answered this episode:

• I'm trying to read through the actual text of John Paul's Theology of the Body but I find it incredibly difficult to understand. Is there anything I could do?
• My best friend and her husband are practicing Natural Family Planing. She feels isolated, discouraged and frustrated. Meanwhile, I feel like NFP should be a team effort and a source of closeness to the couple. Do you have any advice?
• I was in an unhealthy relationship with a man but I still long for his closeness. What place do old relationships have in light of the TOB?
