M A R R I AG E I S A CH O I CE Getting married is just one option of many in the modern-day rat race of relationships. You can choose to get married, but why enter such a long- term commitment when you can still live together and have kids without being married? Besides, at the end of the day, it's just a piece of paper — it doesn't really mean anything. M A R R I AG E I S A VO C ATI O N CCC 1603-1604: "'God himself is the author of marriage.' The vocation to marriage is written in the very nature of man and woman as they came from the hand of the Creator. …. God who created man out of love also calls him to love — the funda- mental and innate vocation of every human being. For man is created in the image and likeness of God who is himself love. Since God created him man and woman, their mutual love becomes an image of the absolute and unfailing love with which God loves man. It is good, very good, in the Creator's eyes, and this love which God blesses is intended to be fruitful and to be realized in the common work of watching over creation: 'and God blessed them, and God said to them: "Be fruitful and mul- tiply and fill the earth and subdue it."
