Eve Out for the Rib, Am I Too Uptight?, and Loving My Husband After an Affair | ACW303

44 minutes

Questions answered this episode:

Is there a particular theological significance of Eve being created from a rib out of Adam’s side?

My boyfriend enjoys watching videos & movies that fall into the comedy category, which is not my favorite genre. This is not something I enjoy. There are times when I find these movies painful to my heart because of the content they have. Am I just being too uptight? Should I try to be more open?

A few years ago, before I was Catholic, I got to a place that was so dark that led me to have an affair. My marriage is in a stage of reconciliation. I have an amazing husband to walk this journey with me. How do I open myself up to him and be comfortable loving him with the same body that I used to hurt him so badly?
