The Sacrament of Marriage is a partnership of the whole of life and love between husband and wife. Bonded by Christ himself, this Sacrament is ‘ordered to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring. (CCC 1601)’ This Sacrament is a reflection of the love between Christ and His Church, and is for the mutual strengthening and holiness of spouses that they might form a ‘domestic church’ and be sources of holiness and grace for all who come into contact with the family.
