Love-Marriage-Birth Control

What does the Church service say? It says "Marriage was ordained for a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication; that such persons as have not the gift of continency might marry and keep themselves undefiled members of Christ's body."

Now this is a very negative blessing. It implies that where unfortunately people cannot be continent that marriage gives the best way out-enables them to get relief within the pale of virtue. This attitude affords to sex love no positive purport or merit of its own, and is in striking conflict with the facts of life through the ages-facts which carry social approval.
