Michaelangelo's frescoes, Pope John Paul said, express “in a certain way the hope of a world transfigured, the world inaugurated by the risen Christ.... [W]e stand before the glory of Christ’s humanity. … As the only Mediator between God and men, from the Sistine Chapel Christ expresses in himself the whole mystery of the visibility of the Invisible.”*
* These words are Theology of the Body in a nutshell!

I'm new here and not familiar with much TOB stuff. Is there anything written by married people on it Sister?
Sure! Christopher West has a number of books on the subject; you might want to start with his "Theology of the Body for Beginners": http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932645349/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1932645349&linkCode=as2&tag=bescatboo-20
or his latest (a bit more theological, but also more precise), At the Heart of the Gospel: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307987116/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0307987116&linkCode=as2&tag=bescatboo-20
