That was not only in the dimension of that first human couple and of that first communion of human persons, but in the whole perspective of the existence of the human family. The fundamental fact of human existence at every stage of its human history is that God created them male and female. He always creates them in this way and they are always such. Understanding of the fundamental meanings contained in the mystery of creation, such as the nuptial meaning of the body (and of the fundamental conditions of this meaning), (i.e. wedding, marriage, conjugal) is important. It is indispensable in order to know who man is and who he should be, and therefore how he should mold his own activity. It is an essential and important thing for the future of the human ethos. Genesis 2:24, notes that the two, man and woman, were created for marriage: Therefore, a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh. In this way a great creative perspective is opened. It is precisely the perspective of man s existence, which is continually renewed by means of procreation, or, we could say, self re-production. This perspective is deeply rooted in the consciousness of humanity (cf. Gn 2:23) and also in the particular consciousness of the nuptial meaning of the body (Gn 2:25). Before becoming husband and wife (later Gn 4:1 speaks of this in the concrete), the man and the woman emerge from the mystery of creation in the first place as brother and sister in the same humanity. Understanding the nuptial meaning of the body in the masculinity and femininity reveals the depth of their freedom, which is freedom of giving. Theology of the Body St. John Paul II Ed Cecil, Respect Life Committee
