CONJUGAL LOVE A SACRIFICE OF ITS KIND BY OGUN IKECHUKWU 4^th July 2013

Love without a cross therein is not a sacrifice. The cross therein in the conjugal love is that which is a total abandonment of the self to the partner. Each partner freely leaves his or her self as a gift (dora). Each of the partner gets satisfactions because of the love, but this satisfaction finds its fulfillment in Christ when it is geared towards eternity, hence without sin in, with and from the act. Consequent to this eternal goal, there is a mercy (elemos) which flows from within, and if there is no compassion from within, the act itself ceases to be love and there is a spiritual cohesion which manifest itself outwardly as a moral disturbance and social in-satisfaction. One can hardly attain perfection or holiness in this case unless there is a return to spiritual and theological mathematical algebra which finds its solution or answer as 1 + 1 equals 1 (One). One, here denotes holiness and unity which has no division or mental conjugal cohesion, because the real conjugal love ought to be and is indeed taken to be a sign of sacrifice from either partner and this is an Almsgiving (elemosyne).
