The vocation of marriage is a unique call to an adventure of love and life, where love is life-giving in a matchless way. Marriage, in its inmost essence as the union of husband and wife, is open to the child. The love between husband and wife—what we call authentic spousal love—is never self-enclosed but remains open to life.
In Made for Life, married couples discuss the gift of children and the importance of fathers and mothers, and thus give further witness to why marriage is unique for a reason.
