    1) Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) wrote that while sensuality is natural, for humans sex must be an expression of love and commitment between partners, not merely a physical act. 2) He argued that true love requires treating your partner as a person, not just an object, and committing to their well-being and a long-term relationship through monogamy in marriage. 3) Wojtyla believed that the deepest form of love comes from losing oneself in service of another, and experiencing a union where one's identity becomes inseparable from their partner's.
