Synonyms Used in print (The Rev. John A. O'Brien, "Let's Take Birth Control...)The Roman_Catholic natural-law tradition regards as self-evident that the primary objective purpose of the conjugal act is procreation and that the fostering of the mutual love of the spouses is the secondary and subjective end . Thus , man can readily deduce that the primary objective end of the conjugal act is procreation , the propagation of the race . In 1930 , the Lambeth_Conference again affirmed the primary purpose of marriage to be the procreation of children , but conceded that , in certain limited circumstances , contraception might be morally legitimate . There is general_agreement also that sex union between husbands and wives as an expression of mutual_affection without relation_to procreation is right '' . Related terms |
