Something to consider.
God came to a man, an ordinary man and said ask for something and I'll give it to you.
This man was a Christian and respected and loved God.
And so he asked: "God, forgive me of my sins."
God replied: "I have already done so, I sent my Son for you and all mankind. Ask something else."
The man then asked: "God, help me be a good Christian and to do your will and make you proud."
God replied again: "I have already done so, you honour my name and are a respectable servant who brings me great joy. Ask for something else."
Finally the man asked: "God, I am too imperfect - and though I was made in Your glorious image, I cannot begin to be good enough for you; I need help."
This time God replied: "I have given you a beautiful girl, she is funny and weird. She is gorgeous and kind. She will make you laugh unlike any other and she will be a great role model to your children. Oh yes, you will have children and though you cannot see it now, you will both make great parents. Sure, you will have your ups and downs, and your children will rebel and get piercings and go out partying late at night. But you will teach them about me and together you will glorify My holy name. This girl that I have put on your path; treat her well, for she is shy and uncertain and scared. But she was destined for you and you, for her. It is My will that you be together. Semper. Always. And you don't really realise it now, but you will only stop loving her: ~When Niagra actually Fallz ~When the oceanz dry out ~When you learn to love yourself in other words: never <3

Christ summarizes the commandments "Love God with all your heart, soul and strength and love your neighbor as yourself". First notice there must be two types of "love", because one you give all to God. Second you can not truely love another until you learn to love yourself, this requirement has nothing to do with sex but respect and honor of oneself, which comes by following the first part of the commandment.
Eh, love is a odd concept. Why do you love someone? It is not for their sake, but your sake. So is love nothing, but glorified greed? If it is greed, should we suppress it as any good man would do? What makes love so pure, so holy? Welcome to ramblings on philosophy.
Semper. Always.
