Here's the episode with all the things married women wish someone had told them when they first got married.
Maybe you've been married a while, and no one ever told you. It's not too late to learn!
Maybe you're a newlywed, or about to get married. You're in a great place to learn good habits early, before you settle into practices in your marriage that work against good lovemaking–practices that are unhelpful, harmful, or even sinful.
If you want help unpacking these Ten Truths further, you can learn more in The Wedding Night and Beyond: The Catholic Bride's Guide to Sex in Marriage. This is good for engaged women, newlyweds, AND wives married decades who never learned all this at the beginning (which, let's be honest, is probably most women!).
