The Munro-Adams Love Attitude Scale was administered to 369 subjects aged 15 to 35 yr. in the Caribbean islands of Barbados and St. Lucia. Unlike North American and African samples surveyed with this instrument, West Indians endorsed Romantic Idealism more strongly than Conjugal Love. Data are interpreted in terms of Caribbean household structures and patterns of males' and females' relationships.

This study examines how the work trajectories of women and men after childbirth and their subjective evaluation influence conjugal love. Data are drawn from the study, «Social Stratification, Cohesion and Conflict in Contemporary Families» (Widmer et al., 2003). The results show that an interruption of labour force participation increases the risk of feeling less in love for women, especially if the interruption is perceived as a sacrifice. Women's feelings of love also depend on the way in which their male partners consider their own work trajectories. Men's feelings of love are much less sensitive to their own and their partners' work trajectories. The results are discussed within the life course perspective.

Since the publication of the encyclical "Humanae vitae" by Paul VI in 1968, a heated discussion has been taking place around this document. It comes alive in a particularly intense way on the occasion of the subsequent anniversaries of the publication of the document. Subsequent decades showed a number of problems related not only to the ethics of marital life and sexual ethics, but also to the concept of conscience or recognition or rejection of the seriousness of the Church's Magisterium. Recent months have brought further opinions of antagonists and protagonists of this document.Among opponents or critics of the encyclical, there are views questioning the teaching that contraception is intrinsically evil. This, in consequence, means accepting the thesis that there are no intrinsically evil acts at all. What is more, it should be noted that every human action is determined in its moral nature only by the proportion between its good and bad effects.In confrontation with these views, the article presents an outline of the anthropological and theological truth underlying "Humanae vitae" which was analysed with insight by St. John Paul II. This allows for the extraction of several basic theses relating to the theological vision of marriage and parenthood: 1) to read the truth about marriage and parenthood, it is necessary to fully recognize the truth about the dignity of the human person, 2) the person realizes fully in the reality of the gift that creates interpersonal communion with the participation of the human body, 3) communion and endowment made with the help of the "sign" of the body are realized in interpersonal conjugal love, 4) the special (though not the only) act of conjugal love is a sexual act, 5) marital logic of being a mutual gift is specific and this is inseparability of the bond between the inter-marital gift (between spouses) and the non-marital gift (between parents and children). Ultimately, this leads to the thought of St. Pope John Paul II, ordering to combine the order of the marriage act with the creative act "the genealogy of the person is inscribed in the very biology of generation".

Marital love is rarely represented by poets, at least in their lyric poetry. Lyric, with its brevity, its intensity, its ellipses, seems ideally suited to a particular type of passionate love typified by novelty, absence, uncertainty. Conjugal love, powerful though it may be, lacks these particular qualities. Yet if the pleasure and even purpose of marriage lies in discovering freedom and self-realization within strictly prescribed limits, then lyric could well be seen as the genre most suited to marital love. This chapter examines the tradition of marriage lyric that has developed, for the most part, in recent centuries, as the ideal of loving, companionate marriage has spread. Taking as its starting point the work of the Victorian poet and theorist Coventry Patmore, whose treatise on poetic meter illustrates the same ideals that mark his poems about marriage, the chapter ranges from Anne Bradstreet to Seamus Heaney and other contemporary poets of marital love.

This chapter traces the effects of Pauline and Augustinian soteriology on Protestant views of marriage. The Reformation is conventionally understood as elevating conjugal love above the lifelong celibacy privileged by the Catholic Church. But this redemptive vision of marriage overlooks a key argument of leading reformers like Luther and Calvin: both deemed marriage superior to celibacy not because marriage sanctifies shameful creaturely desires, but because it publicly acknowledges them. This view of marriage as humbling confession of impurity runs counter to the ideals assumed by the US Supreme Court in Obergefell v. Hodges, in which the majority affirmed the constitutional right to marriage equality on the grounds that marriage confers unique dignity. By contrast, Protestant anxiety that nuptial sex shares the excess and indignity of fornication structures the sexual and racial fantasies of Shakespeare’s sonnets and Spenser’s Amoretti and Epithalamion. When Shakespeare’s procreation sonnets cast poetry as a reproductive technology free of the contamination of lust, they valorize not only same-sex desire but also the preservation of specifically “fair”—white—life and culture. Spenser reveals that the ideal of chaste romance generates sadomasochistic fantasies that naturalize white male sexual violence and racialize female innocence.

Resumen No obstante tener el amor una significativa gravitación en el desarrollo del consorcio marital, si hablamos de la incidencia jurídica del amor conyugal en el matrimonio, necesariamente hay que referirla al consentimiento matrimonial, en tanto éste es la causa eficiente del matrimonio, y por lo tanto en el momento de su manifestación se determina la existencia o inexistencia, la validez o nulidad del matrimonio, tanto canónico como civil, según la suficiencia jurídica del consentimiento. En este trabajo se afirma que el amor conyugal es condición sine qua non para la existencia del consentimiento matrimonial, de la voluntad de contraer matrimonio, y también del objeto del contrato de matrimonio, de lo que se sigue que el desamor conyugal hace imposible el consentimiento hacia el matrimonio, y el objeto del mismo, y constituye una causal de inexistencia jurídica matrimonial, canónica y civil. Palabras clave: Amor conyugal; matrimonio; consentimiento; validez jurídica; derecho canónico.   LOVE IN MARRIAGE: FROM CANON TO CHILEAN LAW   Abstract While love has a significant relevance in the development of marital consortium, if we talk about the legal incidence of conjugal love in marriage, we necessarily have to refer it to marital consent, as this is the efficient cause of marriage, and therefore at the time of its manifestation it determines the existence or nonexistence, the validity or nullity of marriage, both canonical and civil, according to the legal sufficiency of consent. This paper argues that conjugal love is a condition sine qua non for the existence of consent, the will to get married and also the object of the marriage contract and that the conjugal unlove makes the consent to marriage, as well as its object, impossible, and constitutes a cause of marital nonexistence, canonical and civil. Key words: Conjugal love; marriage; consent; legal validity; canon law.
