Catholic Marriage
Faithful to the teaching of Jesus Christ, we believe that marriage is:
Marriage mirrors the faithful love of God for his people. At your wedding you will make a commitment to love each other for better or worse, in sickness and in health. Thus the decision you make to marry is a very important one, because it is a life-long commitment. The preparation, the forms to complete and the ceremony all assist the couple to prepare for and appreciate what it is they are doing. With God's grace, their bond of love is blessed and strengthened. (Taken from the 'Preparing for Your Wedding in the Catholic Church' pamphlet) |
