Marriage

was not instituted solely for the procreation of children but also that mutual love might be properly expressed, that it should grow and mature. The Second Vatican Council echoed this by stating that “such a love, bringing together and the divine leads the partners to a free and mutual self giving, experienced in tenderness and action, permeating their entire lives” Paragraph 125

Thank You
