The Sacrament of Marriage (or Holy Matrimony) in Christianity, especially Catholicism, signifies a lifelong, exclusive covenant between a man and woman, reflecting Christ’s unbreakable love for the Church, instituted by God as a calling to holiness, and imparting grace for the couple to love each other, raise children, and serve God and community. It’s a public, sacred commitment made before God and the Church, where the couple themselves are the ministers, and its grace helps them live out their vows faithfully.
