Sheen offered to the Church and the world \u003ci\u003eThree to Get Married\u003c\/i\u003e: a profound yet accessible articulation of this selfsame Christian vision of love and marriage. “Love is trinity; sex is duality,” Bishop Sheen avers: love and marriage elevate sexuality into a life-giving, life-affirming covenant, because love and marriage are ordained by God to just that purpose. “The ultimate reason why it takes three to make love is that God is Love, and His Love is Triune.” Marriage brings this mystery to light brilliantly: lover, beloved, and love are present in the relationships between husband and wife and God and between children, mother, and father—and in these capacities the human person and human society attain their full flourishing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn \u003c\/i\u003e[\u003ci\u003emarriage\u003c\/i\u003e], \u003ci\u003ethe dream of the bride and groom for eternal happiness really \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ecomes true, not in themselves alone, but through themselves.
