Episode notes
Bodies as Theological Storytellers
- Our bodies, made male and female, are theological and reveal God's plan through sexuality.
- Gender is intrinsically tied to procreation and the divine image, not just a social construct.
Marriage's Procreative Foundation
- Marriage is inherently linked to procreation through genital union between male and female.
- Removing procreation from sex distorts the meaning of marriage and leads to societal degeneration.
Infertility and Legitimate Marriage
- Infertility is a suffering within the fallen world, not a failure to fulfill marriage vows.
- Couples past childbearing years still have legitimate marriages if they honor their design.
