#53 - Lasting Love, Good Sex, and True Parenthood | Dr. Maarten Meijer - a podcast by High Noon

True Parenthood is the focus of this week’s episode, as guest Dr. Maarten Meijir, educator and author of the book People Who Choose the Unification Church, shares about what lasting love is and should be.

Is love purely a physical endeavor? What does good sex mean and how can you have a relationship founded on the principle and centered on belief in God?

And how does educating oneself increase his or her intimacy and relationship not just with his partner but more importantly with God?

• The book on The Marriage Blessing, and the Principle for Lasting Love, Good Sex, and True Parenthood (10:32)
• Sex is a focal component in Maarten’s book because everybody thinks about sex in one way or another, either in a positive way, a negative way, or mixed up way or a neutral way (12:28)
• The problem is people who dominate the discussion on sex don’t have a clear or coherent philosophy for life or human relationship (16:06)
• Another huge problem is absolute sex or morality based sex, or a heavenly sexuality or anything, has terrible marketing, and it always has, and it's always associated with prudishness (21:47)
• The reason why we fall for so many traps along the way  in the area of sex is because there has been no vision for what it is that we're striving for (24:49)
• Addressing the issue of personal development and knowing oneself in order to recognize what it is you should and shouldn’t be doing (37:33)
• Remember that God's love is infinite - you can bathe in God's love (47:38)
• Never give up on yourself. And in difficult situations, have people around you that are your anchors to help you and give you advice (50:52)
