In Matrimony a man and a woman enter a permanent union, a loving relationship which brings each other closer to Christ and generates new life.
As one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, marriage is more than a legal contract. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "the sacrament of matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church."
