The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote ourselves to prayer.

Love does bring us to serve the needs of others, but it releases us from the burden of self-absorption.

When husband and wife exemplify the love of Christ for each other the home becomes a stable environment for the children.
