The Graces of Matrimony

In Matrimony, a baptized man and woman are united with each other as a sign of the unity between Jesus and his Church. Matrimony requires the consent of the couple, as expressed in the marriage promises. The couple and their wedding rings are the signs of this sacrament.

This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and the two become one flesh.  They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh. So then, what God has united, human beings must not divide. 

Matthew 19:5-6

​

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

​1 Corinthians 13:4-7
