Download or read book Sex Love and Marriage in the 21st Century written by Robert T. Francoeur and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 1999 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, sex, and marriage are changing faster than ever before in human history. The current tidal wave of social changes will continue into the next century, and we will have to adapt our sexual values and relationships to these accelerating changes. These 22 honest, authentic stories tell of the unconventional paths pioneering church leaders and spiritually-aware women and men have taken in their quest to link their sexuality with their spiritual needs. Some might see in these unorthodox explorations only tales of promiscuous couplings. But these are not stories of wild thrill-seekers. These are tales told from the core of their being about their deeply felt need for genuine, responsible love and intimacy within a spiritual context. Their journeys do not promise paradise or instant happiness, as popular magazines do with recipes for lifelong marital bliss and fiery passion. These sojourners have much to teach us, even when we decide that this or that path is not for us. Their individual paths are not nearly as important as the simple message of God and Eros being inseparable that underlies journey. God and Eros can come together in many different relationships. And they must come together if we want to nourish and fulfill the divine spark at the core of our being. These women and men challenge our assumptions and our willingness to adapt to our radically changing world.

Download or read book The Future of Love written by Daphne Rose Kingma and published by Main Street Books. This book was released on 2010-04-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The future of relationships is moving us toward the vaulting awareness of who we really are as human beings, something we have managed to avoid for a very long time by being so thoroughly committed to convention...This is the future of love--vast love, love beyond boundaries, love without preconceptions and judgments, love without outdated myths--love which can actually be experienced." At a time when over half of all marriages are ending in divorce, Daphne Rose Kingma, a well-known therapist and relationship expert, has recognized that our familiar ways of thinking about relationships are no longer working. "I have written this book because it is clear that many of our previous assumptions about relationships need to be dismantled," writes Kingma. "As we go through this process, we will discover a number of new ideas: that our relationships can have different forms than we ever imagined; that they will serve different purposes; that they will require different offerings from us. They will also bring us new gifts." We are in the midst of a sea change, in which not only are many traditional relationships failing, but unexpected new arrangements are beginning to appear; gay marriages are surfacing, step-families abound, and many people are consciously choosing to live alone. As Kingma explains, these transformations should not be feared; instead, they represent a real opportunity. In the past, conventional relationships were often destroyed by an overemphasis on the nuts and bolts of psychology, on working to achieve the unattainable "perfect relationship" while ignoring our most vital selves--our souls. The glorious message of The Future of Love is that the disturbing changes we are all experiencing are actually part of the soul's plan, as it breaks down outdated conventions to bring us a new, fuller understanding of love.

Download or read book The 6 Hearts of Intimacy written by Bob Moeller and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the way your spouse gives and receives love will bring depth and new fulfillment to your love life. The 6 Hearts of Intimacy is a “Love Languages” for sex in marriage. Rather than focusing on sexual techniques, it unlocks the secret to true sexual fulfillment by revealing the unique way each spouse gives and receives love. Various books describe the distinct ways in which people express and accept love, but this idea has never before been specifically applied to intimacy in marriage. Marriage experts Bob and Cheryl Moeller present biblically based and proven ways to enhance your relationship with your spouse as they describe the Romantic Heart, the Giving Heart, the Guardian Heart, the Companion Heart, the Worshipping Heart, and the Ecstatic Heart. They also expose the “counterfeit hearts” that are present in many people’s marriages, leaving their sexual relationship self-focused and empty. Many couples spend a lifetime attempting to express their love yet fail to achieve true intimacy. Sensitively written with practical advice and humor, The 6 Hearts of Intimacy shows husbands and wives how to successfully resolve conflicts in their sexual relationship and how to care daily for their spouse’s unique heart of sexual love. Discussion questions are included at the end of each chapter.

Download or read book Loving Sensual Exchange the Encyclopedia written by Michael Jean Nystrom-Schut and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-06-02 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God was in one corner, sex in the other. They were segregated, separated, split off. The two were as distantly related as the east is from the west, as night from day. They had nothing in common. As for God, well, God wasGod! And what could be better than that? Being God was everything that represented good, including, of course, sex. And sex? Well, sex was just sex. It was fun. But mostly it was an essential procreative aspect of life. Under appropriate terms, and in specific settings, it could be a fairly wondrous thing, to explore, to appreciate, but the terms were usually, and most relevantly, within the strict context of marriage, or, at the very least, in that of a deeply committed relationship. Further terms included appropriateness of time and consumption, adherence to specific sexual patterns, restrictions in sexual thought, and much more. After all terms are met, one might then feel free to break off a little for himself, from time to time. Okay. All of that was in a past life that I used to live. No more. I had practiced what one might call oops, excuse me sex most of my young life, and deeply into my middle adult life too. Having recognized that I did not seem to possess the virtues and attributes of a priest, or a monk, I subtly took care of my sexual needs and expressions in the quickest and most expedient fashion possible, so that I could and I might add, with rapidity get back to put more important matters back in hand. No idea whatsoever was given to the fact that the celebration of sexual expression was an integral feature of those important matters. But, hey wait a minute! Sex is of the utmost importance to most every one of us! Where would we be, in fact, without it? We need it. We not only need it, we want it. Its good for us. Is this not true? So, here you have a different kind of perspective on certain things in life. As you read the book, see how it compares with what you think!

Download or read book Loving in the Light of Eternity written by Joshua Elzner and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of this book was written in January and February of 2019 (with slight additions later), as a series of daily reflections on the central themes of the Theology of the Body, and particularly on the mutual enrichment and circulation between the vocations of marriage and virginity, and on the unique beauty of chaste friendships. The second part of this book was written in the late summer and fall of the same year, and picks up on many of the earlier themes, though seeking to penetrate much more deeply into the great Mystery at the heart of the Gospel--the union of the heavenly Bridegroom and his Bride, and indeed the eternal virginal intimacy of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These latter reflections also try much more explicitly to offer a "virginal reading" of the human body, in order to make contact with the depth of God's intentions for human sexuality. This is a reading, not only in the light of time and nature within the confines of this world, but in the very light of eternity. The third part of this book is a collection of poems treating of these same themes, and seeking to allow a particular entrance into the radiance of the Trinity's intimacy and the light that pours forth from here into our existence in this world. This radiance bathes our gaze and teaches us to see anew, to hope for, and in some way already to anticipate, the consummation of everlasting intimacy between man and woman within the sheltering embrace of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Download or read book Enchanted Love written by Marianne Williamson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three of Marianne Williamson's previous bestsellers -- A Return to Love, A Woman's Worth, and Illuminata -- explored the issue of relationships. Now, in this deeply personal collection of essays, prayers, and self-reflection, she turns to romantic love. In Illuminata, Williamson wrote that "we experience God to the extent to which we love, forgive, and focus on the good in others and ourselves." Now, in Enchanted Love, she writes that "enchanted partnership begins with the conscious understanding, on the part of two people, that the purpose of their relationship is not so much material as spiritual, and the internal skills demanded by it are prodigious." High romance, she says, "is not about past or future. It is not about practicality. It is not about society or worldly routines. It is an audacious ride to the center of what is, at the heart of every person. It is a bold and masterful inquiry into what two people really are and how we might become, while still on earth, the angels who reside within us."

Download or read book Sex and Common Sense written by Agnes Maude Royden and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fantastic, enlightening treatise on healthy relationships and sex from the perspective of Agnes Maude Royden, the first woman to earn a Doctor of Divinity. What was progressive in 1921 is now common sense advice for Christians of today, especially those who want to get married. I recommend starting in Chapter 2 or 3 because it takes a little while to get going on things that aren't issues of 1921, but the rest of it was so engrossing I couldn't stop reading and highlighting. Royden argues that sex was created by God to be a sacred expression of commitment and true love, and to use sex for anything less than this is corrupt and empty - a sham. However, she also argues that just because two people are married doesn't mean they share this kind of love, and just because two people are unmarried does not mean that they cannot share this kind of love, because romantic love is something that transcends documents signed by human institutions. She argues that many a marriage is upheld as holy when the only thing "holy" about it is a piece of paper, and that thus people should, with careful consideration, allow for divorce under certain circumstances, in order to uphold the ideal of a true sacred and loving marriage. She devotes a chapter or so on the differences (and non-differences) between men and women, on marital rape, and on the harmful ignorance of young women about sex at the time of their wedding. Regardless on your opinions on sex before (and after) marriage, this book provides an interesting, progressive theological perspective on sex and marriage that deserves to be read and considered by everyone from conservative to liberal, and will be understood by Christians and non-Christians alike.

Download or read book How to Find True Love written by Franklin C. Benjamin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody talks about love, craves for love, and desires to be loved, but not everybody that knows the meanings of true love. So many people cannot differentiate between love, infatu-ation, and sexual gratification. Some even use the word making love to depict sexual gratifications there-fore, we will try to explain the true meaning of love and explain how to find true love. This book is a combination of several years of study, survey, and sermons on the concept of true love. Due to the rate of divorce in our society, we need to find out the course of marital problem and to nip it in the bud. Sexual perversion is the in thing among the youths of this generation even in our churches; many pastors consider it as old school to preach on the issue of sexual perversion. My purpose for writing this book is not to show man's depravity, that depravity tells its own story and I experienced it day and night for more than 26years in my Christian journey. My purpose is to show God's overwhelming love. If anything should stand out in this book, let it be the over-whelming truth of God's love in the midst of man's depravity. The devil will not want you to read this book because this is an eye opener to his secrets in destroying the marriage institute; therefore resist the desire not to study this book because that is from the devil.
