Matrimony is a sacrament that was established by Christ. However, it had been a union of a male and a female for centuries before Christ too. The perfect symbol of marriage, as well as family can be seen in the Holy Family shown to the left. They had the fortitude and strength to stay with each other even with the questionable birth of Jesus. They probably faced much scorn for the manner in which they gave birth to a son. Also, the ideal marriage has become a subject of great debate in today's society, but the Catholic teaching will never change. Therefore, one of the biggest parts of the Sacrament of Marriage is its eternalness. Marriage is a gift from God, in which we can give all of us to someone that we truly love. Consequently, we should keep in mind that society has made divorce seem normal in many senses of the word, but according to the Church it is unlawful. Jesus even said, " Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. Lastly, we should take the gift of children, and only allow it to be a part of our lives after marriage. This goes along with the chastity part of life, but many of us do not have the strength to resist the temptation of sex. However, we should not use this as an excuse, as the only reason that we should have sex is to bring another life into this world. He said, "In marriage, however, let the blessing or massage be loved: offspring. Offspring, not so much because it may be born, but because it can be reborn; for it is born to punishment unless it be record to life."
