Love and Marriage

.
"This is in keeping with the very nature of love,

which may be defined as a mutual self-giving
which ends in self-recovery.

All love must be a giving,
for without a giving there is not goodness;
without self-outpouring there is no love.
In marriage, love is first a mutual self-giving
for love's greatest joy
is to gird its loins and serve."
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
