The Church considers marriage a Holy Sacrament and children a divine blessing from the moment of conception. It joyfully awaits them at the Baptismal font, recalling the words of Jesus, “Let the children come to me for of such is the kingdom of God.”

In order to be in tune with God and His holy will, a married man and a married woman must have a profound, intimate and personal relationship with God. This relationship is fostered and deepened through a daily and well-disciplined life of prayer. Christian marriage is a call to learn the way of love; a vocation to follow Jesus Christ.
