I love long comments so don't worry about them.

It weakens the ideal because it finds it profoundly foreign and unnecesary. I think this is because materialism.

Do you link inexorably economicism with secularism?

Ultimately, endeavours to found a family out of self-preservation, out of the motive of social security, out of the motive of doubling one's income, out of the motive of passing on one's own name, out of the vain desire to mould one's own child after oneself, etc. etc. remain inferior to love. Paradoxically, however, it is the unique bond of love between the sexes that leads to precisely these things: self-preservation, social security, a more stable income, passing on one's name and children wanting to emulate their parents' example. But they won't if they don't have parents (adult couples) who love each other.

I completely agree.

I also believe that love is something that, by its very nature, is something very much linked to the soul. It awakens one spiritually, and is a path to the divine.

I don't have much more to say about it. I agree on some of the points you made and so there is not much I can add. You definitely deserved a better response, but I don't have much to say.
