Man's Call To Salvation

This is the Sacrament that makes people of God His co-creators or nurturers of life. This sacrament, "the marriage covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of their being of the spouses and to the procreation and upbringing of children, has, between the baptized, been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament."

This sacrament also reveals God's fidelity to His covenant of love, for, in marriage, there are two essential properties, distinctively made firm and strong, namely: unity and indissolubility.
