Because a life to live is more valuable than a life to remember.

Not only that, but we must form bonds with humans, like our family and also I believe half the religion is seeking marriage and lies in marriage, that is because love and virtue half of that is going to be in marriage and how you treat your spouse. I believe the language of love points us to purpose and interconnection.
There are fabrics of love, and the most important fabric is the mystic link and name of God, which is our leader and guide, by which we are connected to God and know God. All creation glorifies God through him whether they know it or don't....the matter is becoming aware of this glorification and the guide in the journey, the companion in the journey!
