Claim. Men and women are born for each other, and love’s organs belong to the spouse rather than to the self.
Elaboration. SMM states the principle bluntly: man is born for woman, woman is born for man, and deviation from this “highest realm of truth constitutes the highest evil” (CSG 4.5 §2, 21-201, 1968.11.20). He applies this especially to the sexual organs: “Man’s sexual organ came into existence for the sake of woman. Likewise, woman’s sexual organ is for the sake of man” (143-275, 1986.3.20). Because God “switched ownership of their love organs,” the body itself teaches other-centered love (132-146, 1984.5.31). The moral claim follows from the ontology: sexual faithfulness is not possessiveness but recognition of rightful ownership.
