Episode notes
Eros Is The Marital Distinctive
- Eros (sexual desire) uniquely defines the marital relationship and must be confined to marriage to be rightly ordered.
- Woe emphasizes that eros in other relationships is disordered and destroys the nature of marriage.
Wedding ≠ Marriage
- Distinguish wedding (ceremony) from marriage (one-flesh union in the marriage bed) to avoid conflating form with essence.
- Corey argues the wedding is the ceremony while marriage happens in the marital union afterward.
Don't Idealize Celibacy
- Do not assume celibacy is a sane universal Christian ideal; celibacy is a special gift given to very few.
- Corey warns against mimicking monastic vows without the God-given gift of celibacy.
