Matrimony
The sacraments of Holy Orders and Matrimony are directed towards the salvation of others. A husband and wife become responsible for helping each other follow Christ to our heavenly Father.
"It is imperative to give suitable and timely instruction to young people, above all in the heart of their own families, about the dignity of married love, its role and its exercise, so that, having learned the value of chastity, they will be able at a suitable age to engage in honorable courtship and enter upon a marriage of their own."
