Interactivity In Accompanying Migrant Spouses

The book presents the situation of marital separation experienced by migrant spouses as a result of labor migration; examines their marital separation using the theological framework accompanying; and offers a theological paradigm on interactivity in accompanying to strengthen their marital relationship. Their marriage can be strengthened through an internal-relational process-external structure model of interactivity which is founded on the holistic view of man who is created in the image and likeness of God. The structure model begins and ends in interactivity which involves the intentionality of the accompanier in accompanying the migrant spouses through empathetic conversation. Accompanying requires the cultivation of pastoral guideposts from Pope Francis' Amoris Laetitia, Bowlby's secure attachment, Tolstoy's self-giving love, Ricouer's empathetic conversation, and Saint Pope John Paul II's gradualness. God is the source of interactivity in accompanying and He included it when He created the first man and woman. Jesus Christ is the determinative exemplar of interactivity in accompanying.
