The roots of the institution of marriage lie in our nature. Male and female we have been created, and written into our nature is this pattern of complementarity and fertility.
In the Scriptures, marriage develops as a divinely ordained covenant between a man and a woman which sustains physical, emotional and spiritual intimacy.
As we begin Marriage Week, we invite you to pray this novena each day for the vocation of marriage.
Marriage is a source of stability and happiness, showing us the endless love that God has for all of us.
Marriage Week is an annual celebration offering the opportunity to support and promote marriage and family life.
The church offers preparation for marriage, and opportunities for sustaining and deepening the couple’s relationship through formation.
