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 their indissoluble unity of the sacrament.

  • 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.
