But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate. [Mark 10:6-9]
The Sacrament of Matrimony
The Sacrament of Matrimony is administered by a baptized man and a baptized woman by the exchange of vows. Marriage is ordered towards the procreation of new life, and the love and sanctity of the spouses, and is defined by its call to permanence and fidelity. The sacrament offers the graces of sanctification, unity, and love.
