It is the commitment of two people to love and support one another faithfully throughout all of life. It was hallowed by the presence of our Lord at the wedding feast of Cana in Galilee. It is set forth by His apostle as a symbol of the mystical union between Christ and his Church. Our Saviour has declared that a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The foundation and strength of marriage is Love.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Marriage means sharing our lives completely with another. Marriage is founded upon love, begun in commitment, and fulfilled in faithfulness. Let love be genuine. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another as God forgave you. Marriages are first and foremost a civil act.
