The mystery of love in God's creation is nowhere more powerfully revealed than in this: the sexual
attraction which man shares with the animals is immediate, self - centred, and gratifying, yet it leads to the possibility of a love which
requires commitment and loyalty and in which
physical and emotional gratification become sacraments of the spirit.
While people are often drawn together by
physical attraction and shared interests, a romantic relationship
requires proper care and nurturing to grow.
