婚姻圣事 What is the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony?

「男女双方是藉婚姻盟约结合为终身伴侣，此盟约以其本质指向夫妻的福祉 ，以及生育和教养子女，而且两位领洗者之间的婚姻被主基督提升到圣事的尊位」。

圣经是以天主按照自己的肖象创造男人和女人而开始，最后以「羔羊的婚礼」(默19:7,9)的神视完成。从始至终，圣经讲论婚姻及其「奥迹 」：
婚姻的建立和天主所赋予的意义；婚姻的起源和目的；婚姻在整个救恩史中的各种实现；罪恶给婚姻所带来的种种困难；婚姻如何「在主内」(格前7:39)、在基督与教会订立的新盟约中得到更新。

天主教教理 卷二 基督奥迹的庆典 第二部分 第三章 第七条 婚姻圣事

The Sacrament of Matrimony establishes between a man and woman a partnership for their whole life.
Matrimony exists for the glory of God, for the good of the couple and for their children.

The Church expects parishioners to be married in their own parish where they regularly worship and participate in parish life. When an exception is permitted, the Catholic must have a letter from their own pastor granting permission for them to be married outside their parish.

A wedding reflects the faith of the Church and the faith of the couple.
A wedding is a celebration of the Church and of the couple.
Weddings are beautiful moments that celebrate the greatest virtue — love! — God’s love for us and our love of God.
