Marriage 101
It’s not just the wedding, after all, it’s a one day event, what’s more important and I think what most of us think less is the life that awaits us after the wedding. I did some readings (yes!) and found a couple of interesting information about this most celebrated sacrament.

Why is Marriage a sacrament?
Marriage is a sacrament because the covenant between the husband and wife signifies the union of Christ and the Church.

What is the matter of Marriage?
The matter of the sacrament of marriage is the exchange of consent.
What are the 2 essential ends of marriage?
The 2 essential ends of marriage are: 1. the good of the spouses; 2. the pro creation and education of the children.
What are the two effects of the Sacrament of Marriage?
1. Perpetual and exclusive bond between the spouses; 2. The sacramental grace of marriage.
What are the three properties of marriage?
1. Unity
“And a man shall his father and mother and be joined with his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” (Matt 19:5)
