| Sumario: | In this article, given the premise that religion has constructed prescriptive discourses on how to manage oneself, generating rationalized relations that are appropriated by the capitalist system and thus framed as formulas to reach happiness. We advance a reflection on the relation between "rational" or "intelligent" faith, emotional relationships and the "business marriage." Our study will analyze the therapeutic narratives exposed by Renato and Cristiane Cardoso, as well as its ramifications within the Love School brand - in books, broadcast TV, Internet, and especially in the Universal Church of the Kingom God's temple in São Paulo. |
