Back the essentials of love as illuminated by the Theology of the Body with these evangelical threads. True love is free, total, faithful, and fruitful. Spread the word! 

In the wisdom of Saint John Paul II's "Theology of the Body," four marks of love are identified. True love is free; true love is total; true love is faithful; and true love is fruitful. Do you love freely, or are you being pressured into a relationship? Do you love totally, or do you keep part of who you are from the other person? Do you love faithfully, or do you place conditional criteria on loving someone? Do you love fruitfully, or is your connection based on sterile selfishness?Between friends, strangers, enemies, and lovers, love has these marks, as can be witnessed in the vows of the Sacrament of Marriage.
