Matrimony: By which a man and a woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love.
The fruits of this Sacrament are:
- The grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church
- A perfecting of their human love
- A strengthening of this indissoluble unity
- Sanctification on their way to Heaven
- The grace to “help one another to attain holiness in their married life and in welcoming and educating their children.”
- An integration into God’s covenant with man: Authentic married love is caught up into divine love.
