“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and handed himself over for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath of water with the word. So [also] husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.” Ephesians 5:25-26; 28
In the life of Christ we see and hear about love being poured out for the other. It is in giving that we receive and become our best selves.
So at the heart of the Church’s life are two sacraments that celebrate the priority of love given in service of others: The Sacrament of Marriage and The Sacrament of Holy Orders.
Married love is meant to mirror the unconditional, permanent, faithful and total love that God has for each of us. To live married love well means to find one of the greatest sources of human fulfillment and happiness. We are thrilled that you are seeking God’s grace and help in living out this high calling through the Sacrament of Matrimony and we are excited to help you prepare for more than just your wedding day.
