The Church has a rich tradition concerning sacramental marriage and covenantal union. The Old Testament recalls God's covenants, through which He promises to bless his people and never forsake them. The New Testament reveals a new covenant in Jesus Christ and presents marriage as a sacrament of his everlasting union with the Church. Jesus blesses marriage and calls men and women to be wholly united in matrimony for a special share in the life-giving and saving work of God.
