Speaker: Thomas Rutherford
Topic: Dating and Marriage
This week on CRTL, we tackle dating and marriage. Join Thomas Rutherford, author of Heaven Help the Single Christian, for tips what to do and what to avoid! Plus, the phrase "til death do us part" isn't anywhere in the Orthodox marriage ceremony. Does that mean we're married to our spouse in heaven? Canon Law specialist Fr. Patrick Viscuso sees what the Holy Fathers have to say. To study more on this subject read: Sexuality, Marriage, and Celibacy in Byzantine Law: The Alphabetical Collection of Matthew Blastares: Selections from a Fourteenth-Century Encyclopedia of Canon Law (http://www.amazon.com/Sexuality-Marriage-Celibacy-Byzantine-Fourteenth-Century/dp/1935317008/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1306862990&sr=1-3) or Heaven Help the Single Christian: Your (Practical) Guide to Navigating Church as You Search for a Godly Mate (http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Help-Single-Christian-Navigating/dp/1928653405/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1306862956&sr=8-1)
