"For love is never something ready made, something merely 'given' to man and woman, it is always at the same time a 'task' which they are set. Love should be seen as something which in a sense never 'is' but is always only 'becoming,' and what it becomes depends upon the contribution of both persons and the depth of their commitment. This commitment is based on what is 'given.'" -- Pope John Paul II, Love and Responsibility 139.
