| Summary: | In his post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia, Pope Francis turns his attention to the subject of married love, with the aim of gathering the truth of this state in the everyday life of the couple. True married love should reflect the love of Christ, as illustrated by Paolo in his famous Hymn in 1Cor 13. It is, in fact, the light emanating from the love of Christ which in turn enables conjugal love, compounding the three forms which love takes: eros: desire; philia: kindness and consideration; and agape: self-giving to one's spouse. The article first considers the distinctive aspects of these three components - erotic desire, kind friendship and self-giving love - and then reviews them in the light of their interaction and integration.
