"They are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. " Mark (10:6-9)

Vatican II gave married couples the title of "The Domestic Church" in recognition of the very special tasks with which God entrusted us.

The union of husband and wife can be compared to the union between Christ and His Church. The two become one flesh and share in the great union of Christ's love.

A Christian marriage is a sacrament in which a baptized man and woman pledge their love through a deep and personal covenant. To celebrate this sacrament, the man and woman must be of mature age. There can't be a previously existing valid marriage. And they must freely intend to enter a lifelong commitment.
