Marriage

“The covenant of marriage, established by God between a man and a woman, encompasses their entire life and, by its nature, aims at the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of children. Christ the Lord has raised this covenant between the baptized to the dignity of a sacrament.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church – 1601)
