Amoris Laetitia - Par. 119



119.  In family life, we need to cultivate that strength of love which can help us fight every evil threatening it.  Love does not yield to resentment, scorn for others or the desire to hurt or to  gain some advantage.  The Christian ideal, especially in families, is a love that never gives up.  I am sometimes amazed to see men and women who have had to separate from their spouse for their own protection, yet, because of their enduring conjugal love, still try to help them, even by enlisting others, in their moments of illness, suffering or trial.  Here too we see a love that never gives up.
