Marriage

And over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

collossians 3:14

Marriage, in the Catholic faith, is a sacred covenant — a lifelong union between a man and a woman, established by God and elevated by Christ to the dignity of a sacrament. Rooted in love, fidelity, and openness to life, marriage mirrors the unbreakable bond between Christ and His Church. It is a vocation of self-giving and grace, where spouses support one another in holiness and build a family grounded in faith. In a world of shifting values, the Church upholds marriage as a divine gift and a path to sanctity, joy, and salvation.
