V. The Goods and Requirements of Conjugal Love

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

Children are the supreme gift
of marriage and contribute greatly to the good of the parents themselves. God himself
said: “It is not good that man should be alone,” and “from the
beginning (he) made them male and female”; wishing to associate them in a
special way in his own creative work, God blessed man and woman with the words:
“Be fruitful and multiply.” Hence, true married love and the whole
structure of family life which results from it, without diminishment of the
other ends of marriage, are directed to disposing the spouses to cooperate
valiantly with the love of the Creator and Savior, who through them will
increase and enrich his family from day to day.¹⁶¹
