Note: (since I know it will come up) I am in no way saying that the only purpose for sex is procreation.
But you very directly contradict yourself with those two statements, along with the foundational views which you continue to back (ie. contraception, homosexuality)... how do you not see this?
There is no contradiction. Sex is both procreative and unitive.
God gives life when the couple engages in sex that is procreative. And God binds the husband and wife together when they become one flesh through the sacrament of marriage. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
