Love and passion
Discovering Fire "After man has mastered the winds the waves and the tides, some day he will harness for God the energies of love, and then for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire" (Teilhard de Jardin) This thought has held me captive from the time it touched my eyes and ears and heart. It has fueled continual ponderings on myself and on the world. To simply talk of love in wholeness - Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity (Lewis definition in The Four Loves) is left best for large books. They are all beautiful parts, but my place in life has urged me to delve into the intimate side of love - to talk about the Act of Marriage. A risky endeavor, as did C.S Lewis, I will write before I fully experience intimacy at it's finest. It is a time for me to find and give a voice of reason to the strong feelings and beliefs in my heart. Beliefs that will and have caused heated and well argued opposition in my life. This paper will endeavor to make clear that the lies about love and marriage told in the traditions of the world will not and have not helped man to discover the fire of love, but that intimate love, purified through God holds more power
We can imagine and see all around the devastating affects on marriages, it is possible that premarital sex has nearly the same result. Cervical cancer takes the lives of 5,000 women each year. It can be a time when we quite literally unite our will with gods will and. If a woman contracts Chlamydia, one of the most common STD's ######## the silent sterilizer. Also was found that if couples abstained from sex before marriage they are 29-47% to enjoy the intimacy of the Act of Marriage. "Love does not ask the short term question "what makes me happy now?" instead it asks "what will build my long term capacity to deal with life effectively?" It demands high character" (Allen, 241) "You cannot love until you are loved. And are saying that these too are lies about love. They do not come from the media, from magazines or movies. It is riding the waves of the same inward rivers together and then in a whisper, "love speaks from a tiny spark to power a mighty flame. "True marital intimacy can be both sacred and sanctifying, a time to draw closer to God. And today there are estimated to be 42 million people living with HIV/AIDS with 24 million already dead from this disease with no cure. It seems to tell of that natural laws that govern all things, including human sexuality, are screaming in opposition to the free love that is taught and practiced. If one gives in to physical urges before marriage - what is going to be different and prevent them from repeating the behavior once the honeymoon is over? Perhaps some marriages are doomed from the start? A study of 2,746 women in the National Survey of Family Growth performed by Dr Kahn and Dr London of the university of Maryland found that non virgin brides increased their odds of divorce by about 60% and those who engaged in sex before marriage are more than twice as likely to have extramarital affairs. God is Love" (Madsen, 29) A deep relationship with the Father of our spirits is the only way to achieve true intimacy in our relationships - to discover that fire. To ride the same inward rivers together to rise in love.
