Matrimony unites a baptized man and a baptized woman in a lifelong bond of faithful love to always honor each other and to accept the gift of children from God. In this Sacrament the married couple is consecrated to be a sign of Christ's love for the Church.
El Matrimonio une a un hombre bautizado y a una mujer bautizada en un acuerdo mutuo de toda la vida de amarse fielmente para honrarse siempre y de aceptar el don de Dios de los hijos. En este sacramento, la pareja casada se consagra para ser un signo del amor de Dios por la Iglesia.
St. Paul said: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church...This is a great mystery, and I mean in reference to Christ and the Church."
(Eph 5:25,32)
