THE SIGN
INSTITUTION BY JESUS CHRIST
But from the beginning of creation, 'God made
them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his
father and mother (and be joined to his wife), and the two shall
become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must
separate."
Mark
10:6-9
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
loved the church and handed himself over for her to sanctify
her.... cleansing her by the bath of water with the word, that
he might present to himself the church in splendor, without
spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and
without blemish. So (also) husbands should love their wives
as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For
no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes
it, even as Christ does the church, because we are members of
his body. "For this reason a man shall leave (his) father
and (his) mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall
become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak
in reference to Christ and the church.
In any case, each one of you should love his wife as himself,
and the wife should respect her husband.
Ephesians
5:25-33
THE GRACE (effect)
The effects of the Sacrament of Matrimony
are:
- to sanctify the love of husband and wife;
- to give them grace to bear with each other's weaknesses;
- to enable them to bring up their children in the fear and
love of God.
