November 24, 2024 Bridging Tradition and Modernity in Marriage
Manage episode 452270915 series 2833483
Is it possible that the institution of marriage is undergoing a transformation? Join our diverse panel—a professor, a priest, a millennial, and a rabbi—as we engage in a spirited conversation about the evolving landscape of relationships. We examine why traditional marriage seems less appealing to men today, exploring insights from James Sexton, a seasoned divorce lawyer, who sheds light on the fears of financial and emotional loss. Together, we question whether romantic love is being burdened with unrealistic expectations in the hunt for happiness and fulfillment.
Beyond the societal pressures and statistics, our discussion takes a deeper dive into the spiritual dimensions of marriage. We challenge the transactional expectations often placed on modern relationships, advocating instead for connections that feed the soul. Reflecting on historical perspectives and the Catholic Church's marriage preparation process, we emphasize the significance of nurturing spiritual bonds and personal transformation as cornerstones for a fulfilling partnership.
As we celebrate two decades on the air, our camaraderie is as vibrant as ever—even without David Capes. We extend our gratitude to the community, especially at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, for their unwavering support. With humor, mutual respect, and a shared bond, we close with our Show of Faith Sunday Night Blessings, promising to keep our listeners in our prayers as we wish them a joyful week ahead.
