The exposure
In discussing the Theology of the Body, one has to distinguish between (a) the doctrines
of the Church, (b) Pope John Paul II’s teaching, and (c) the presentations given by teachers like
Christopher West and others. It would also be helpful to see the Theology of the Body in the
proper context.
One always has to remember that the Theology of the Body is a theological explanation of
the teachings of the Church, and is not a new doctrine in and of itself. It is part of an effort by
Popes John Paul and Benedict and others to propose a Christian anthropology of love that will
provide a modern and accessible theological and philosophical explanation for the teachings of the
Church. You have to view the Theology of the Body in that context.
His purpose was to give to the world a true vision of man, answering important questions
like: Who are we? Why did God create us as male and female? How are we to live? What is our
destiny? He begins his consideration with the way we were, that is, a reflection on Original Man
before the advent of sin. Because Jesus is always his starting point he begins in the nineteenth
chapter of Matthew’s Gospel. The fullness of the nuptial meaning of the body in its original
nakedness is rooted in love. Original happiness is rooted in love. Christ is the witness of this love,
Man’s original innocence is founded interiorly on his participation in the interior life of
God himself in his holiness through an original benefaction of grace. It is witnessed by their having
no shame before each other. The nuptial meaning of the body is discovered through original
innocence. This original innocence is an essential characteristic for the theology of the body,
because it radically excludes shame of the body. The original nuptial meaning of the body explains
the original lack of shame, because they were free in the freedom of the mutual gift of themselves.
This freedom means self-mastery, which is the precondition for the ability to give oneself
to another in love — “no one can give what he doesn’t have.” Free interiorly with the freedom of
the gift, man and woman could enjoy the whole truth about man, just as God Yahweh had revealed
these things to them in the mystery of creation. Man and woman were revealed as created for the
sake of the other and find each other only in giving of themselves to each other. Man and woman
have this original “nuptial” understanding of the body, that they are created for each other in love.
To close, I found the Theology of the Body helpful to my life in light of the fact that through
it, I discovered that the call of the congregation is not to wind up more otherworldly but rather
more incarnational. By incarnational, it implies that it is a calling that permits the expression of
the gospel to enter somewhere down in our fragile living creature and bones. In the event that this
incarnational happens, we will have the capacity to see the light in the congregation's instructing
on sexual profound quality. We will see it not as a harsh arrangement of tenets but instead an
establishment of a freeing ethos rather. This is a call to experience reclamation of our bodies. At
the end of the day, a call to rediscover what is sexual. It is the first importance of sexuality in this
way the exceptionally significance of life. In this manner, as what the speaker had thought us to
As per their reactions, romance assumes an enormous part in building the establishment of
marriage. They saw romance as a vital part of a relationship for it was an ideal opportunity to
search for the potential accomplice in life. Romance resembled a prequel to the marriage. Seeking
was done in a manner that the man needs to strive to get the young lady to succumb to him and if
fruitful, the young lady will feel secure realizing that the person experienced awesome lengths just
to win her heart. The seeking procedure was a route for the person to esteem the lady and not
abandon her effortlessly. Concerning the young lady, romance served as a period to contemplate
whether the man had the qualities she was searching for or on the off chance that he was the one
for him. Also, this procedure is a key aspect of a relationship since it gives both sides sufficient
They do concede that marriage is no enormous joke and it is a dreary procedure in any case.
You become more acquainted with a greater amount of your accomplice along the way. The most
exceedingly awful of demeanors might be uncovered later on. More often than not, couples tend
development are the most vital devices. Correspondence is a key face of a relationship since it is
a medium in communicating each other's emotions. Likewise, one ought to have the capacity to

Consolidating what I realized in TREDFOR, the 3 C's truly posture solid advantages, all
fact that it is a couple's sound method for communicating their considerations and feelings. On the
off chance that they don't talk and get listened, they may disintegrate. Understanding your
accomplice is required for you to have the capacity to interpret his or her basic message.
Fellowship then again is based on assuming full liability for what is made and not faulting the
other of the outcome. Camaraderie means being accessible to your cherished one and not
abandoning them. In conclusion, responsibility is critical in light of the fact that marriage is a major
collaboration. One must resolve to succeed. The part of confidence in marriage and the 3 C's is
imperative since that is the thing that will keep them driven and gave. In the event that their
confidence is powerless, there will be a hard incorporation of the 3 C's. Likewise, having the same
confidence will be less demanding managing things contrasted with those couple who don't have
the same confidence. Their reactions have influenced me as a man and adherent to a feeling that I
could think of another thought of what qualities constitute a Christian conjugal duty. For me,
couples must know the establishment bases key to marriage. They ought to consider marriage as a
demonstration of discipleship.
The interview
The couple I met have a serene and significant life as accomplices. They are a cherishing
couple with 3 youngsters. They go to chapel as a family every Sunday. Based from my perceptions,
I would say that they have an entrenched marriage and they know each other exceptionally well.
The couple confessed to having a great time relationship amid their initial couple of years of
marriage. Be that as it may, it was trailed by battles and contentions. Along the way, they could
reinforce their marriage through their good and bad times. They lead their lives as indicated by the
teachings of God and the Bible. They are adherents of God and the congregation. As Christians,
they expect to spread the good news of the Lord by motivating others. Since they are a piece of
Couples for Christ, they communicate with other wedded couples and gain from each other. Mr.
and Mrs. Acuña, is a couple who can accommodate the necessities as well as the needs of their
family. They are not just the ones included in a congregation organization yet their kids too.
Both of them experience the desire that as a couple, they should experience their lives as
per discipleship. Marriage is an association of Christ's adoration for his congregation. It is not just
about fulfilling our requirements for fraternity. Mr. and Mrs. Acuña put stock in marriage as a
device to manage observer to Christ's conciliatory and unending affection for us and his
congregation. Marriage is a spot for learning happiness and the contract in the middle of man and
lady. It is a road where closeness is found out as it were that it is the place two individuals get to
These couple's lives are communicated in God's will and nearness in light of the fact that
as a couple, they recollect marriage in the arrangement of creation. The verse of Genesis 1:27 lets
us know where the source of human life began and it began from Him. Since the greater part of
God's work and creation are to be welcomed, they figured out how to esteem and deal with their
marriage. Moreover, they regard marriage as an agreement. Marriage ought not be destitute on the
grounds that it is a pledge. A pledge is a guarantee and a guarantee ought to never be broken. In
the New Testament, as indicated by Matthew 19:1-9, "what God has joined must not be isolated."
In addition, it is a window into the good news of the Lord. As a couple, they measure their
living desire through spreading the teachings of God through their marriage. In spreading the
Lord's principle, they are welcoming others to be included in the kingdom of God. With this,
