Why does the Party permit marriage but discourage love?

Three Newspeak
Dictionary terms are applicable here:

ownlife: individualism and
eccentricity; desire to do something for your own benefit. (i.e. hobbies, ownership of property,
love, or any other Thoughtcrime)

good sex: sex for the purpose of producing
children for the party; opposite of sexcrime

sexcrime: having sex for
enjoyment or in the hope to create a family of your own

So, marriage is
permitted only if it is state sanctioned.  All children produced are for the party.  Love and
sex for pleasure are not condoned because they lead to ownlife.  Ownlife is a thoughtcrime, in
that it is individualistic.  Again, the purpose of the state is to destroy
individualism.
