Sexual liberty is not the liberty to indulge my compulsions, rather it's the liberation from the compulsion to indulge.
Beautiful teaching from TBI.
May God bless your ministry.

I am not Catholic, I am Baptist, but the info in this video is so rooted deep in the truth of God. Listening to this video brought conviction for my actions in the present and past. I wish this would go viral.

It is a relief to listen to you guys. Almost brings tears to my eyes. I miss my Catholic community. Your words make me feel at home, loved, accepted. I feel alienated and misunderstood in a predominantly non-Catholic city.

I'm practicing celibate life and I can admit it's a daily hustle. I wish I could get chance to share my whole story too.😢😊

Imagine how many couples, even those who have been married for a long time, do not know what true chastity means. And that chastity is also necessary in marriage to live in harmony and true love between spouses.

This is so good! I really identify with Christopher when he said that he had become worried about crossing lines with Wendy and put up a wall. My girlfriend and I are both the kinds of people that touch is one of our love languages. Holding hands, sitting with our shoulders or bodies in contact, these things make us feel connected deeply more than other things. So we struggle with how we kiss each other. It’s very difficult sometimes to make sure that kissing deeply/passionately (“making out”) doesn’t turn into us ending up on top of each other. We had a conversation about how both of us were acting and decided to try other ways of showing intimacy.

We gave up making out for two months and I think that was ultimately a good thing but also both of us feel somewhat neglected. We both want to show each other that we love each other and that there’s passion. Both of us want to feel that too from the other.

Last night we had a beautiful moment where we allowed ourselves to kiss more deeply than we have in the past two months. I think it was very healthy for us. Both of us were careful to be respectful of what causes us to “go too far”. And it seemed wholesome because we both wanted to keep each other safe. I can tell we will have to work on it still but it seems providential that I’m seeing this video now while trying to contemplate these conversation again.

This video is very valuable to me. My boyfriend is an atheist. I told him I didn't want to be close until marriage. He accepted because he loved me but he put up a little wall. Now I understand it better. Thank you for sharing your experiences. May God bless you.

This was very beautifully put, moving me deeply within. I felt especially struck when Cristopher spoke about putting up a wall - even though I did it unconsciously at first, it's something I've done out of a reflex, scared that I will hurt the one whom I love and fear of being unchaste, constantly reminded of my unchaste life, during my time out of the Church when I had abandoned the faith for 7 years...

It's going to take time to heal those wounds that I've caused myself and the hurt that others have caused me. But this video is definitely a step in that right direction.

Thank you and God bless!

As someone who's had episodes in his marriage where a wall, a distance came between us due to stress and exhaustion, where we stopped snuggling or outright stopped touching one another and as someone who sees this happening in friends of ours right now...

I think chastity not just contains abstinence, as you so rightly said... it also contains noticing when a distance grows and knowingly bringing intimacy back UP to a healthy level. It's not just suppression. It's also elevation that is part of this skill. Like you took down that wall.

The hard part is the balance. I'm not saying complete abstinence is easy. Not at all but complete indulgence, while being easy to do is hard to live with for extended periods of time. So as usual, the task becomes finding a balance and nurturing that.

I’m Non denominational, this makes sense, to control when you indulge in intimacy with your spouse, instead of letting your passions control you.
Thank you for this!
