... we have embraced any and all sexual relations that express emotional love or just a physical urge as the sort of relations which are proper to marriage.

One of the issues I see is that our society has enshrined sexual activity as the highest expression of love. In popular music and so on, when the word "love" is used as a verb, it almost always means "***k."

I don't see how this concept has taken hold so strongly, because just about anyone will (bleep) just about anyone with a pulse at the drop of a hat. Emotional affection, even general attraction, need not be involved.

If you want to express love, you really have to take a totally different direction. For example, you could do something that's terribly sacrificial: difficult and painful for you, for the sake of others. You know, like Jesus's dying on the Cross ...

(Those are general "you," not "you, AHerald".)

Really enjoyed reading your post. Looking over that beautiful home page of yours, it is clear that you seek to live your beliefs. That page is a testament to the true beauty of sacrificial, self-giving and life-affirming love of Holy Matrimony. You've been greatly blessed for saying “Yes” to God's true plan for marriage. Thank you for sharing that blessing with the rest of us via that page.

First time I’ve been to your homepage (I don’t like to intrude).

You live the Faith. I am humbled. I only have six children. I feel so inadequate...

Thank you for being a testimonial to the Faith. BTW, I don’t see a tattoo in the whole bunch. Is there something wrong? :)
