As one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, marriage is more than a legal contract.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "the sacrament of matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church. We greatly respect the sacrament of matrimony and desire to protect its sanctity. You will gain a more profound understanding of this covenant throughout your formation leading up to the wedding liturgy.
May God bless the two of you as you prepare to become one in the Lord!
Have you been married for at least five years and would be willing to put your name out there as a potential mentor couple?
