Marriage is a profound union between a man and a woman, celebrated not only as an expression of love but also as a sacred vocation. In the eyes of the Church, marriage is a sacrament of service, akin to the sacrament of ordination. This holy union transcends a mere social contract; it stands as a special sign of God’s presence among us. Through the creative expression of love, both in joyful and challenging times, the couple’s bond reflects God’s enduring love.

In this communal love, Christ’s boundless love is made visible to the Christian community and society at large. This eternal love is embodied in the couple’s lifetime commitment and their openness to the gift of children, symbolizing the fruitful and enduring nature of their sacramental union.
