< March: Soul and Spirit

april: Marriage

The goal of this class is to explore the nature of marriage and its essential characteristics, especially its intrinsic purposes. After defining marriage and considering it in detail, we discuss the definition’s implications for sexuality, dating, and courtship.

Questions covered in class

  • Does marriage have a natural structure which we discover but do not invent?

  • What are the natural ends of marriage and how do they underlie the natural structure of marriage?

  • Is “gay marriage” possible? Why do people consider it to be something reasonable?
