The Sacrament of Matrimony
Holy Scripture affirms that man and woman were created for one another:
“It is not good that the man should be alone." – Genesis 2:18
“Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.” – Genesis 2:24
The marriage covenant, by which a man and a woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love, has been founded and endowed with its own special laws by the Creator. By its very nature it is ordered to the good of the couple, as well as to the generation and education of children. Christ the Lord raised marriage between the baptized to the dignity of a sacrament. –Catechism of the Catholic Church 1660
