Beloved: Finding Happiness in Marriage

Long before cultures or governments ever discussed marriage, God placed on the human heart a longing for the unique, lifelong commitment, and total self-giving love found in the Sacrament of Matrimony. What does God's design mean for us in our daily lives together? A remarkable assembly of experts shows us the answer.
In 12 stunning sessions, BELOVED uncovers the mystery and the meaning of the sacrament of marriage. What if marriage is more than you think it is? What if God has woven into the very fabric of your humanity a purposeful need and desire that can only be fulfilled in your marriage? BELOVED invites all couples to experience firsthand the wonder, mystery, and joy behind that first "I do" ... whether you said it last year or many years ago.
Beloved is comprised of two parts: The Mystery and Meaning of Marriage has 6 sessions and Living Marriage has 6 sessions. All 12 episodes can be used in Marriage Prep or for Marriage Enrichment. Just select your Leader and Couples Guides for "Preparation" or "Enrichment".

ABOUT THE AUGUSTINE INSTITUTE
The Augustine Institute helps Catholics understand, live, and share their faith. We create innovative and engaging materials that help all Catholics deepen their relationship with God and his Church. Lighthouse Catholic Media and the Augustine Institute merged on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, 2015. Our Graduate School of Theology provides an opportunity for individuals to study theology and earn either an online or an in-person Catholic theology degree. The Augustine Institute also powers FORMED.org along with Ignatius Press. This Catholic media platform has a wide array of parish programs, Bible studies, and entertaining content to support the whole Catholic Church, especially your diocese, parish, and the individual parishioner. Our Catholic Market is a Catholic store to help you find amazing authors, beautiful products, and the best orthodox resources to deepen your faith and give great Catholic gifts.
Following the mission of our patron, Saint Augustine of Hippo, we are here to support all Catholics at every level of their faith journey. With our expert theologians and biblical scholars at the heart of all we do, you can trust that our content aligns with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

A love-based marriage is by definition not permanent because love is a choice and they can change their mind at any time.

[@ramonsalgadovenciojr.3466]

Thank you for this!

Marriage is a legal construct per God. "Do not defraud" 1st Corinthians..

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

Love this series and channel 🥰❤

"Marriage isn't just a matter of rights." Nobody on this video can define what the matrimonial rights are.

[@AnnulmentProof]

If love has one essence, it has one essential purpose. What is that essential purpose? Anyone? Buhler?

[@AnnulmentProof]

"Eons later?" The Bible says four thousand years from Adam to Christ

[@AnnulmentProof]

I will give anybody in this video $25,000 if they can prove that love is legally essential to marriage consent.

[@AnnulmentProof]

Canon law 1012 it's a contract

[@antiscientism3665]

I thought earth is flat level.

[@AnnulmentProof]

Dude, I was thinking the same thing after that picture. Holy cow

[@AnnulmentProof]

Love is not essential to marriage.

[@clancynielsen6800]

Yeah, that's a pretty dumb thing to say

[@sharelletemaat938]

Romantic love is not essential to marriage. If it were, arranged marriages would not have been considered valid. But they were as long as the couple did not exclude permanence, fidelity, and openness to children.

[@danamalar]

Marriage is not a human contract or can be sustained for a lifetime without love. Marriage is God instituted as between one man and one woman, monogamous. The design of a human body,( suitable only for a male and female relationship) the nature of sexually transmitted diseases in polygamous relationship, are some boundaries set to uphold this holy matrimony.

[@Rose-ct8lq]

God is Love, and if we want to make God front and center of our relationship, then it is essential!

[@AnnulmentProof]

@@Rose-ct8lq "essence" is legally defined. The church defines the essence of marriage as procreative acts. Love may be necessary and important, but not essential.
