In particular, responsible fatherhood
and motherhood directly concern the
moment in which a man and a woman,
uniting themselves “in one flesh”, can
become parents. This is a moment of
special value both for their
interpersonal relationship and for their
service to life: they can become
parents–father and mother– by
communicating life to a new human
being. The two dimensions of conjugal
union, the unitive and the
procreative, cannot be artificially
separatedwithout damaging the
deepest truth of the conjugal act
itself.[31]
Wanting to trust
someone has powerful
neurobiological roots,
but genuine trust
must be earned.
