Are you trying to discern if the person you're dating is "the one?" Here's a good question to ask yourself. "How willing are they to embrace chastity?"



Patrick Conley sits down with Fr. Peter Armenio, a priest from Opus Dei, to chat about this. Not all content may be suitable for sensitive ears. 



The Heart of the Matter: Fr. Peter dives right into why chastity is a game-changer in dating. It's not just about following rules—it's about making sure your love is genuine and selfless. In a world that often confuses lust with love, chastity helps keep things real and ensures you're building a relationship that lasts.



Key Takeaways:



Chastity as Your Relationship GPS: Fr. Peter explains how chastity acts like a GPS, guiding your relationship in the right direction. It keeps both people honest, especially when emotions run high. For women, this means not feeling pressured to lower their standards just to keep a guy happy. Chastity sets the bar for respect and shows that love isn’t about conditions—it’s about genuine care.



Going Against the Grain: Fr. Peter knows that today’s dating scene can be tough, especially with the hookup culture being so common. But he encourages Catholics to stand out by sticking to their values. Even the best people can slip up, but chastity helps keep your relationship on the right track and ensures you’re loving each other the way Christ calls us to.



Bottom Line: Chastity isn't about restricting love—it's about making sure it's the real deal. Fr. Peter’s advice? Stay strong, be countercultural, and let chastity guide your relationship to something truly beautiful.
