Catholic Teaching on Marriage
The Catholic Church teaches us to hold marriage as sacred. It is a gift from the hand of God, who created male and female in His image so that they may become one body. The vision of marriage for the Catholic Church is deeply rooted in the Scripture.

In marriage, the love between a man and a woman is blessed by God. Marriage is a union in faith and a response to God’s call to holiness. The couple becomes the symbol of God’s love on earth.

Biblical Roots of Marriage (Matrimony)
After the original sin was committed, He blessed them, saying, “Be fertile and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1: 27-28). The Scripture teaches that marriage is not simply a human institution. It is also something God established from the foundation of the world.

When Jesus Christ healed the people of sin and its effects, marriage is also recreated and made new in Christ. Jesus tells us that in the Kingdom of God, the original intention of God in the permanent union of husband and wife can be realized once more.
