Paragraph:

2367 Called to give life, spouses share in the creative power and fatherhood of God. ¹⁵⁴ "Married couples should regard it as their proper mission to transmit human life and to educate their children; they should realize that they are thereby cooperating with the love of God the Creator and are, in a certain sense, its interpreters. They will fulfill this duty with a sense of human and Christian responsibility." ¹⁵⁵
