Episode notes
Woman As Delight And Oil Press
- Woman is both delight and oil press: she brings joy and also purifies a man by squeezing out the oil of charity.
- Devin connects Eden's delight and Gethsemane's oil press to marriage's simultaneous beauty and purification.
Crisis Is A Test Not An Exit
- Crises in marriage are tests permitted by God to grow self-giving love and temptations from Satan offer easy ways out.
- Devin warns common outs: pornography, affairs, contraception, or withdrawal that compound the original trial.
Become A Great Man By Giving Yourself Away
- Choose to become who God designed you to be by giving yourself away to your wife as the path to male greatness.
- Devin cites Gaudium et Spes: discovering your true self comes by sincere gift and uses his daughter's art as example of self-discovery through giving.
