Matrimony

 

 

The Sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved His Church.

The grace of the Sacrament perfects the human love of the spouses, strenghtens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life.

(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1994 Reference 1661).
