Our Topic:We are interested in the general area of … Hook-up culture and it’s alignment(or dis-alignment) with Christian Marriage.

Our specific interest is…. Online dating sites that either lead to relationship or just hook-up and how that affects the relationship’s longevity and happiness. And how it affects the people personally involved. (Tinder, Match.com, Christian Mingle, Grinder, eHarmony)

We hope to find out more about… The mission statements of these programs and personal accounts of relationships founded on them. Did they last? Did it align at all with the theologies of Christian Marriage? Can they? Is this where society is headed? Is it really so bad?

Here is are at least two readings we will use:It’s All Greek to Me: Theories of Human LovePOM, Chapter 13 “Sex Matters: The Riches of the Catholic Sexual Tradition”

POM, Chapter 18, “Sex, Time, and Meaning: A Theology of Dating”

And, yes: we will present our topics and sub-topics with both an eye on their total scope and how they relate with theologies of Christian Marriage. How could we not?
