In this episode of Reclaiming Catholic Intimacy, Ellen Holloway shares something she used to be embarrassed to admit: she actually looked forward to the abstinence that came with NFP because she dreaded having sex with her husband. She shares how her understanding of sex slowly changed, what helped her heal, and how she eventually went from dreading the end of the fertile window to actually looking forward to being intimate with her husband.

Hey! This episode is a little different. I purposely didn't edit out a few emotional moments because I think it's really important for you to understand how important improving your sex life as a Catholic wife really is. I hope you enjoy this open letter to the Catholic wife who hates sex from her future self.
