Married love serves life by begetting and educating children, but also by adoption, or by reaching out in other ways beyond the family. The family is the first and vital cell of society. It identifies several key issues and responsibilities the church must address in order to fulfill her mission of bringing the faithful into full union with Christ and his Church.
