A Catholic marriage is a sacrament in which a baptised man and a baptised woman administer to each other through their marriage vows and lifelong partnership. The Sacrament of a Catholic marriage reflects the union of Christ with the church as his mystical body. The permanence of the marriage union is understood to be indissoluble. The rite commonly takes place during a Mass, with a priest serving as the minister of the mass and as a witness to the mutual consent of the couple. The marriage union is used to sanctify both the husband and wife by drawing them into a deeper understanding of God’s love and is intended to be fruitful, with any children to be raised within the teachings of the church.
