In his foreword, Pope Francis uses the tango as a metaphor for the dynamics of love and marriage, highlighting its complexities and beauty. He acknowledges the challenges faced by modern marriages, noting that many couples struggle to keep their commitments. Yet, he encourages young people to believe in a lasting love that transforms their lives. By emphasizing the desire for unconditional acceptance, he argues that love should be seen as a lifelong adventure rather than a fleeting experience. The Pope reassures that engaging in a steadfast union is enriching and fulfilling, as depicted in Holy Scriptures.
The male and female dancers court each other and experience closeness and distance, sensuality, attention, discipline and dignity. They rejoice in love and understand what it might mean to give themselves to someone completely.
How many marriages today fail after three, five, seven years? Maybe your parents, too, began the sacrament of marriage with that same courage, but were unable to take their love to completion.
Love wants to be permanent; until further notice isn't love. We humans have the desire to be accepted without reservations, and those who do not have this experience often unknowingly carry a wound for the rest of their lives.
Holy Scripture is very clear: That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
