If we reflect on the one who is loved, then we find that they experience another s faith in them. They see life in a way that they would never have dreamed possible. In being loved they come to a new truth about themselves. Their horizons are opened up beyond what they can see from within their own sinfulness. If a person did not enter the relationship or if they cut off the relationship then this discovery does not take place.
Society is essential to human development.
Social cliques cut across this natural human dynamic and people caught up in the cliques either by being included or excluded are limited in their development to full humanity. The final point here is that the realization of the loved one s new image is ultimately the realization of what God had in mind for that person. He has found Zacchaeus and called him to a new life. In marriage the new concrete entity that is created by the blessed union of man and wife is not simply a new social unit, but rather a concrete representation of the union between Christ and his Church with all that means in terms of love and faith and a mission to the world. A true humanity comes about through the experience of all that makes up the family relationship.
