One Minute Catechism – What Is Meant by the Unity of the Sacrament of Matrimony?

Question: What is meant by the unity of the Sacrament of Matrimony?
Answer: The unity of Matrimony means that marriage is a sacred and lifelong union between one man and one woman, joined together by God. This unity reflects the faithful and unbreakable love between Christ and His Church — it allows no division, no sharing, and no second union while both spouses are alive.

Scripture:
“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” — Matthew 19:6

Reflection:
Marriage is a divine partnership of love and faithfulness — a mirror of Christ’s own unending love for His people.
