Paragraph 6. MAN

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

372
Man and woman were made “for each other” – not that God left them
half-made and incomplete: he created them to be a communion of persons, in
which each can be “helpmate” to the other, for they are equal as
persons (“bone of my bones. . .”) and complementary as masculine and
feminine. In marriage God unites them in such a way that, by forming “one
flesh”,²⁴⁵ they can transmit human life: “Be fruitful and multiply,
and fill the earth.”²⁴⁶ By transmitting human life to their
descendants, man and woman as spouses and parents co-operate in a unique way in
the Creator’s work.²⁴⁷
