Actually, in reality, that portion of the Body of Christ with which we are firstly obligated to be one and to which we are most obligated to show unconditional love would be the members of our own flesh and blood family. Starting with our own spouse.

But if we instead follow our religious flesh's craving to zealously "serve God" in the field of the world [like we see portrayed at www.beseeching.org] without having first learned to be a priest at home, we will eventually become shipwrecked in our faith.

Chuck Debelak has some healthy teaching to both husbands and wives on this much neglected subject of taking care of the Body at home. The below links include both the transcript and the audio:

The Husband's Responsibility
The Wife's Responsibility
