Why Is Love So Difficult?
Whether you’re thinking about dating relationships, marriage, family, or friendships, I’m sure you’ve experienced the same frustration. You want to have healthy, vibrant, growing relationships. But human nature – whether it’s yours or the other person’s – gets in the way. Conflicts, squabbles, irritations, character flaws, boredom, busyness, and laziness all get in the way of the relationships we want.
Why is love so difficult?
The fact is, “human nature” isn’t what gets in the way. The problem with our relationships is actually fallen human nature.
Our relationships suffer because we tend to ignore the effects of Original Sin in our lives. We can’t find a solution to our relationship problems because we refuse to look at their root causes.
There Is a Solution: The Theology of the Body
Pope John Paul II sought to cure this fatal ignorance in his Theology of the Body. In this incredible collection of teachings, he teaches about the effects of Original Sin on the individual human and also on human relationships.
How does Original Sin make it more difficult for you to love others with selfless love?
Why has the relationship between man and woman turned into a war?
Why has human sexuality lost its meaning and purpose?
Pope John Paul II answers these questions and more. More importantly, he leads us to the solutions to the effects of Original Sin.
“The Struggle to Love in a Fallen World” is an online class delivered in From the Abbey’s membership site. It is part two of three of The Two Are One course.
This Class Will Teach You . . .
Why Original Sin Was Primarily About Relationship
Hear the story of Adam and Eve in a new light. The story of the Fall was not just about eating a forbidden fruit or gaining forbidden knowledge. It was really about relationships with God and with each other.
The True Meaning of Shame and Lust
Two key terms in Pope John Paul II’s teaching are two terms that are usually misunderstood. We think that lust means sexual attraction – and that therefore sexual attraction is bad. We think that shame means to be embarrassed – and therefore shame is bad. But these are misunderstandings of the way Sacred Scripture uses these terms. Understanding their correct definition is key to understanding how Original Sin affects your relationships and how to combat its effects in your life.
Why the Relationship Between the Sexes is So Strained
The relationship between men and women has become a tug-of-war with male chauvinism on one end of the rope and feminism on the other. Once we realize that men and women were meant to complement each other in relationships of selfless love, we have to wonder how we got where we are today. The answer lies in the story of the Fall.
Why Is Marriage in Such a Sad State?
The effects of Original Sin that affect all of our relationships are most strongly experienced in marriage. Why is marriage a specific target for the Enemy? Why does the Church focus so much on its redemption?
