Screwtape Letters Chapters 16-18

So I really enjoyed letter 18. It dealt with love, sex, marriage and children. One quote that I liked that is on page 95, “The Enemy described a married couple as ‘one flesh’. He did not say ‘a happily married couple’ or ‘a couple who married because they were in love’.” I believe if a couple is ‘one flesh’ then they are happy and in love. Ha it aggravates me how much Screwtape contradicts everything all the time. Another section I liked was on page 94 about how, “’To be’ means ‘to be in competition’”. That whole paragraph was really good about how one self is not another self. Can’t wait to read on!
