The story of individualism:
Resting in the “real me”

Existentialism: Scissors analogy


“You define you” 


Salvation: “authenticity” 


How does this story show up in our images, symbols, and praxis? 

The story of romance:
Resting in romantic love


Pre-industrial marriage & household economics

Industrial revolution 

Kids & family = not producers but consumers

Salvation: emotional and romantic connection

“Marriage should be for love, not a matter of expectations, routine and everyday practicalities.”
