Sacrament of Marriage

Congratulations on your decision to get married.

Christian marriage is a sacred union which enriches natural love. It binds those who enter it to be faithful to each other for ever; it creates between them a bond that endures for life and cannot be broken; it demands that they love and honour each other, that they accept from God the children he may give them, and bring
them up in his love. To help them in their marriage the husband and wife receive the life-long grace of the sacrament.
