Some of the comments of the participants:
The course consists of very good and informative notes for study.
- A youth
The TOB seminar was an eye opener in many ways. The teachings of Pope John Paul, especially about the act of sexual intercourse being so sacred, so beautiful, among many other teachings.
- A doctor
It increased my knowledge about my body, sexual morality, relationship between man and woman in marriage...
- A doctor
The speaker is so passionate and emotional. To see his passion and the use of his personal (very personal) testimonies, touched me immensely.
- A doctor
It has helped me respect myself and others and understand deeply the meaning of sex in my life.
- A youth
The aspect I liked the most was that sexual intercourse is 'DIVINE', and a peep into the Beatific Vision, as I was illiterate about it.
- A doctor
I liked the personal sharing by Vally as this really opened peoples' hearts, because in order to accept the teachings, we need to feel human experiences to understand better.
- A youth
Enjoyed the session on marriage as a sacrament, the act of sexual intercourse being holy and not just an act of Recreation and Procreation. It will help me in my marriage, to understand my husband better.
- A married person
The TOB should be for a longer duration.
