Catholic Marriage Theology

Catholic Marriage Theology views marriage as a sacred union rooted in God's love, intended to mirror Christ’s relationship with the Church. It emphasizes the lifelong commitment of a man and woman who freely consent to bond as partners, open to the possibility of children. The marriage sacrament signifies God's grace, strengthening the couple’s union and guiding them to live in mutual respect, fidelity, and love. It also reflects spiritual realities—committing to personal growth, mutual sanctification, and community building—thus serving both the couple and the broader Church family.
