intended for their common good, and
for the procreation and education of
Children.
The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony Rediscover the beauty and purpose of the Sacrament of Service
Let’s Define
HOLY MATRIMONY IS PERMANENT
It is an eternal conjugal
covenant before God, and not
temporary arrangement between
two lovers.
“What God has joined together, no human being
must separate” ( Mark 10:9)
Let’s Define
HOLY MATRIMONY IS A COVENANT OF LOVE
True marriage is established out
of love, which is the virtue of
giving oneself to the other.
Christian Love is AGAPE, or the selfless
commitment of promoting the spouse’s good.
Let’s Define
HOLY MATRIMONY IS BETWEEN A QUALIFIED MAN AND WOMAN
A Christian Matrimony is
monogamous and heterosexual.
The two parties must be qualified for matrimony,

meaning, they should not incur in any
impediments that will make the Sacrament
invalid.
Let’s Define
HOLY MATRIMONY IS INTENDED FOR THE COMMON GOOD
The primary purpose of

Matrimony is the reciprocal
wellbeing of the spouses.
Husband and wife complement each other

at the physical and spiritual level.
Let’s Define
HOLY MATRIMONY IS FOR THE PROCREATION AND EDUCATION OF
CHILDREN
The secondary purpose of
Matrimony is giving life to
children as well as educating
them to be Holy Christians and
honest citizens.
What is the difference between DIVORCE, SEPARATION and

ANNULMENT?
Divorce:
Is the legal dissolution of a valid
CIVIL MARRIAGE, which allows
the spouses to remarry civilly with
another person.

ANNULMENT?
Separation:
Is the temporary living-apart of the spouses due
to a serious cause, such as infidelity or unbearable
violence. It is allowed by the Church, provided
the spouses remain single, and strive to reconcile
as soon as the cause for separation is dissolved.

ANNULMENT?
Annulment:
Is the declaration that a certain marriage
was null and void from the beginning – it
never existed – because of an impediment.
Since Marriage enjoys the favor of law, its validity

must be upheld until proven otherwise.
