Hey y’all. I’m in a precarious situation right now. Yes, I am falling in love with someone and I want to approach this in a faithful way. My previous relationships included me putting the other person above everything basically, but I want to put God in the first place this time. It’s probably healthier this way. Any Christian books about phenomenology of love or falling in love that you know of?
God is not just an Aetherial entity. He is not there to scare you into doing the right thing. God envelops the virtues that we should each place upon our hearts. Truth, love, seeking the right way: All these things should come before the whims of anyone in our life and lead us to know what is actually best for each other. If you have confused the true faithful with those who have a Kindergarten understanding of Christianity, maybe crack open a Catechism and ask yourself if anyone of small mind would approach this kind of religious introspection. Now compare that to what you are doing. Who is really putting in more work into the world to better themselves? Someone seeking a righteous path or someone beguiling a man who is taking his relationship seriously with a cheeky anonymous posting on an Internet forum designed for an entirely differnt kind of communal interaction than mere trolling?
