Marriage in the Catholic Church - FAQs (Booklet)

Written by the Australian Bishops' Committee for Family and Life the booklet provides practical and thorough answers on the theme of marriage. "Marriage is a divine calling by which a man and a woman give themselves to each other in a life-long partnership. It is an opportunity to experience the beauty of human love, a love that mirrors the love of God. It is a path to holiness, to being saints." (Introduction).

Marriage is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church and because of its importance this booklet has been compiled to answer frequently asked questions: ‘Why does marriage matter so much to the Church?' ‘Should couples really postpone sex until they get married?' ‘What is required for a ‘valid' marriage in the Catholic Church?'  This booklet is a must for those seeking understanding of the gift of marriage in the Catholic Church including those preparing for marriage.
