The Sacrament of Matrimony
The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreating and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.
– Catechism of the Catholic Church
Sacred scripture begins with the creation of a man and woman in the image and likeness of God and concludes with a vision of “the wedding-feast of the lamb.” Scripture speaks throughout of marriage and its “mystery,” its institution and the meaning God has given, its origin and its end, its various realizations throughout the history of salvation, the difficulties arising from sin and its renewal “in the Lord” in the New covenant of Christ and the Chuch.
