THE PURPOSE
The purpose of the marriage of a woman and a man is union.
The purpose of union is fertilization
The purpose of fertilization is giving birth.
The purpose of birth is learning.
The purpose of learning is to grasp the divine.
The purpose of apprehending the divine is to maintain the endurance of the one who apprehends with the joy of apprehending.
- Pseudo-Boethius
