113 The Sacrament of Marriage, a Treasure in the Church

Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, are a model of Christian marriage. Today we look at their example and seek their inspiration, as we delve into the great treasure of the Sacrament of Marriage, how, according to the nature God gave it, it is between one man and one woman, for their entire lifespan, for the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of children. When the spouses are baptized, this reality of marriage is a sacrament, which—when validly celebrated and consummated—no human being can break apart. May we have many holy and stable marriages in the Church!
