"Men and women considering marriage yearn for certain things. They want to be accepted unconditionally by each other. They want their marriage to be filled with love and happiness. They want a family. In short, they want their marriage to be a source of joy and fulfillment their whole life long."
This material is excerpted from Married Love and the Gift of Life, a
statement of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
that was approved at its November 2006 General Meeting.
