Claim. God’s love flows through the four position foundation in exactly three forms — parental love, conjugal love, and children’s love — corresponding to the three object partners. Only through experiencing all three in a God-centered family does a person complete the purpose of creation.
Elaboration. Per 4.3.1. Love and Beauty: “Had adam and eve attained perfection, each becoming a substantial object partner to God resembling one of His dual characteristics, they would have joined as husband and wife and raised children in a godly family. In so doing, they would have experienced three kinds of original love with their three object partners: parental love, conjugal love and children’s love. (The love of the first object partner, the love of the second object partner, and the love of the third object partner.) Only then would they complete the three object purpose and form the four position foundation. This would be the fulfillment of their purpose of creation.”
The relationship to God’s love: “God’s love is the subject to the various kinds of love flowing through the four position foundation. Therefore, God’s love is manifested through the various loves of the three object partners. God’s love is the underlying force which breathes life into the four position foundation. Accordingly, the four position foundation is the vessel of perfect beauty through which we can receive and enjoy the fullness of God’s love” (ibid).
The three-loves structure is doctrinally load-bearing: unmarried sanctity, however virtuous, is structurally incomplete — only the lived experience of all three loves composes the full vessel for God’s love. This is the metaphysical premise behind UC’s Blessing and behind true-parents as a category. It is also why Jesus’s unmarried life is read by DP as an aborted course rather than a model.
