IF YOU'VE ASKED IT - IT'S IN HERE

"Why does the Catholic Church say that sex is good in marriage, but bad, bad, bad outside of marriage?"

"How can I find the love of my life?"

"Isn't annulment just Catholic divorce?"

"Can one not be a virgin yet change and be whole again?"

"Why can't gay people get married if they love each other?"

"Is it normal to fantasize about having sex - I mean, all the time?"

"Exactly how far is too far?"

"Can you give me something more neutral to say in the back seat besides 'excuse me, let's be chaste'?"

Mary beth Bonacci speaks to nearly 100,000 people every year. She speaks to Catholics across the country and around the world about friendship, about relationship, about marriage, about God's plan for sxuality, and about finding real, honest love.

And people speak back to her. They ask her questions about sex, about dating, about healing after a shattered relationship, about marriage, about their struggles to live love. Their questions are real, specific and often very poignant. Now, for the first time, Mary Beth has published those questions and her answers in a comprehensive, readable guide which addresses details of the very real struggle that people face in trying to live real love in a world gone mad.

Through these questions and her answers, Mary Beth offers a comprehensive catechesis of the Church's teaching in the areas of marriage and human sexuality. She tackles the toughest issues premartial sex, contraception, divorce, homosexuality, pornography and others. She gives practical advice on living the Church's teachings. She offers compassionate support for those who have stumbled. And throughout it all, she demonstrates that a living respect for God's gift of sexuality is the way the only way to find real, honest love.
