XII. We Believe in the Seven Sacraments of the Church

    5.  Sacraments of Vocation

     ii.  Matrimony: A Covenant Relationship   

New Page 1

A covenanted communion for life between one man and one woman through which they become husband and wife, mutually share their complete selves, promote each other's fullest welfare and in love beget and raise children. The two partners are themselves the ministers of this sacrament, the priest serving only as official witness. The bond of marriage is indissoluble as long as both partners remain alive.

God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Gn.1:27

The Lord God said, “It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

Gn.2:18

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving -kindness.”

Jer. 31:3-4

“Husbands love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy....wives respect your husbands.”

Eph.5:25;33.
