St. Augustine identified three "goods" or fundamental values of marriage: 1) Offspring, referring to the potential fruitfulness and procreation within marriage; 2) Chaste Fidelity, concerning the exclusive commitment and faithfulness between spouses; 3) Unbreakable Bond, regarding the permanence and indissoluble nature of the marital relationship. These three goods distinguish marriage from other relationships by emphasizing its focus on family, commitment to one partner, and intended life-long bond.
