Conference on Marriage, Family and Relationships - KEEP THE DIRECTION 2022. Shrine of Our Lady of Remet, Zagreb Lecture: Stjepan Arnuš - The Mystery of the Marriage Bed DEPTH OF THE SEX "I remember maybe 5, 6 years ago, maybe 7, I came across a book by the French philosopher Fabrice Hadjadj "Depth of the Sexes". The author leads you to believe that beyond the genitals there is something deeper, behind sexuality there is something deeper. When you open that book, right on the first pages there is one, I would say, quite provocative question, and when you read it, you realize that very few people know the answer to that question and do not think about it, and the question is: 'What is sex for you?' There are a few more things before I give you the answers that I discovered and that I would like to share with you; in that same book, says Fabrice Hadjadj, for me personally the best sentence I have ever read and heard, and that sentence goes like this: 'Because the encounter with God after going to a monastery is clear enough. But that you will meet God by going to Michelle, the one who just failed at preparing veal ragout, that is quite inexplicable.' What does this sentence tell us? He is saying this: it is normal for us, and we all expect to have the opportunity and possibility, and that we will meet God when we come to a monastery, when we come before the Tabernacle, when we kneel, when we enter into prayer, but that you will recognize God in your Michelle who cooks a bad ragout, that is a secret. The secret is that in your wife, in your husband – there is a God you can meet.”
