- For thousands of years, holy people have made pilgrimages to holy places, for the salvation of their souls. If can afford to make a pilgrimage to Mt. Athos, the Garden of the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, but may not have the time, I have a solution for you, complete with your own icon.
Using your money to acquire a holy icon, or to go on a pilgrimage to a holy place, is an excellent way to allocate your resources (your tithe) to a source of spiritual food for you.

The teaching of St. Porphyrios on conjugal love, in brief:
1. Your bedroom must be adorned with holy icons.
2. Cense the icons and your room.
3. Pray together before the holy icons.
4. Consummate your marital love, physically.
This is SO beautiful and right. Even befote I joined the spiritual path I wanted this kind of sex. Only once did it happen and we both cried. Within a week, my husband had filled the bedroom with porn tapes, sex toys and stupid clothing for me to wear, because he did not worship my body, he worshiped pornographic fantasies which turn me into a means to an end - a THING. Needless to say, he broke my heart, my spirit, my soul with his cries of "you're fridgid, you're a prude".
To hear the Father speak in this way is bringing my soul back to life. Thankyou so much. I have already attended my first Orthodox service and I want to be baptised.
Thankyou so much for this, from my heart.
Thankyou for your bravery on speaking about this topic. I too feel that sex is acted upon in a using and selfish way, animalistic prideful way. When instead it should be serving, loving and ever so revering the Lord. Nothing in this life is ours, we must honour and respect the Lord through all things. They all belong to him and must be treated as such. These connections are precious. It is the act of literally forming life. That’s not something simple and careless. That’s to be treated and viewed with the right state and eyes in truth. ❤ just like how we come to the Lord too . I believe you father !
Valentina, that's one of the most beautiful comments I've yet to read. Thank you so much. What you said is right, and I am very blessed to know that this encouraged you. Please feel free to suggest any video topics you would find relevant. As it turns out, our dear Lord has provided a way for us to sanctify every aspect of life. I we cannot regard sexuality as within that sacred, God-blessed veil, then truly, we cannot be saved. I am always interested in the challenges people are facing, so that we can discover together what God has for us, on any matter. Know that I am not a priest, merely a lowly Orthodox Christian layman, Nathaniel
@@semenretentionjourney thankyou very much.
perhaps you could talk about complex relationships with parents ? And how many misunderstand their parents and their parents also their child. And the problems that arise from that. Because a lot of our lives stem from our experience in family and our upbringing.
This generation find it very hard to form stable committed long term connections and believe in marriage. Trust or simply feel emotions and give, love when you do not receive it. People are in fact hyper independent or avoidant, or too anxiously attached. Constantly running away from problems and distracting themselves I see and I no better.
Many topics here sorry :)
You know how marriage is a huge reflection of the church and Christ. As well as any relationship, interaction, should be a reflection of Christ. We must love one another, thy neighbour. Our parents, brothers and sisters.
Everything is toxic now, everything little is over dramatised, people are quite spoilt let’s say, without offending them because this is simply the generation we are brought up in, where commodity is a lifestyle for many. And I am speaking on behalf of myself too.
But more so, why exactly and what we can do more specifically.
Perhaps this sparks an interest?
I hope I am clear enough, I will be interested in what you have to say regardless.
Forgive me.
Your many blessings 🙏🏼
@@Valentina-xl6wr The latest video bears your name for a reason, dear in Christ Valentina. I have also invited you to email me directly, so you may. :)
Bless you brother.🙏
lol I thought you were Roosh V based on the thumbnail. Haven’t heard much discussion in the Orthodox community re: semen retention. Good stuff.
I would enjoy talking with him. Are you friends?
@@semenretentionjourney no, just familiar with him through the internet.
Thank you ❤
I have been wonderijg why there is no Orthodox guide on proper sexual activity with our spouse! And who do we ask for the details?! Exactly what is permitted?! There is too much room for perversion, but where is the guidebook, especially for convert's?! 😩
Yes, this is an important topic. The western heterodox culture around us teaches us to be ashamed, and not to address the matter directly. Thank goodness, the saints are not prisoner to such nonsense, and have addressed it frequently. Very often, the devil seems to be winning a specific battle by keeping the topic away from pious discussion. But God reveals His will to those who seek Him fervently, and it's all in the Holy Tradition.
I have a serious concern: as a man, how is this not a pseudo-homosexual act?
I don't know what you're talking about. According to St. Paul, holy matrimony is sacred and undefiled.
@semenretentionjourney the way it's described in the video is that the lovemaking (in this case the actual act of sex) is meant to be done with the idea that the spouse is an Icon of Christ. In the video it even sounded like you were saying that the love was being made to God and not the individual. All the being the case, the male in this scenario is in essence having sex with Christ; male on male, hence my comment on it being pseudo-homosexual
Who sold you such delusion?
@juliesheard2122 if I'm supposed to put Jesus in the place of my wife, that's two men in the bed. Yes, it's not literally two men, but if I'm supposed to have relations with Jesus in that way, it's pseudo-homosexual.
wtf
