How can TOB help with a healthy relationship to food? For many years I suffered from premature ejaculation but now, sometimes I have unions with my wife where I do not ejaculate. . . is that acceptable? I am yearning for spiritual and emotional intimacy with my husband of 29 years, but he seems incapable of sharing his heart and our conjugal union has become, for me, merely mechanical. How does one survive in such a marriage?

Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II’s beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.
