Connecting Scripture and Doctrine
"The vocation of marriage is written in the very nature of man and woman as they came from the hand of the Creator" (CCC, 1603). The vocation of every follower of Jesus is to love. The vocation of every married couple is mutual love that becomes an image of God's unfailing love for us. God created us out of love and calls us to love (see CCC 1604). God did not create humans as solitary beings but from the beginning created them male and female. "This partnership of man and woman constitutes the first form of communion between persons" (Genesis 1:27; CCC, 383). -

This principle underlies the lifelong, faithful commitment the Church celebrates in the Sacrament of Matrimony.
