Matrimony
"For this
reason a man will leave his father and mother and be
united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
Each one of you should love his wife as he loves
himself, and the wife should respect her husband."
Ephesians 5:31, 33
The Sacrament
The marriage covenant, by which a man and a woman form
with each other an intimate communion of life and love,
has been founded and endowed with its own special laws by
the Creator. By its very nature it is ordered to the good
of the couple, as well as to the generation and education
of children. Christ the Lord raised marriage between the
baptized to the dignity of a sacrament. The Sacrament of
Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church.
It give spouses the grace to love each other with the
love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of
the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the
spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and
sanctifies them on their way to eternal life.
