Catholic AnswerThe sacrament of Matrimony is a pledge of faithfulness and love between a man and a woman that is witnessed by the Church and God. Through this sacrament God gives to the couple the graces necessary for their state in life. Thus "authentic married love is caught up into divine love." (Gaudium et spes 48 § 1). The marriage covenant is a sign of the marriage covenant between Our Blessed Lord (Jesus Christ) and His Church (the Catholic Church)..

Marriage is a Sacrament of Service (Mission) and not one of healing. Matrimony, according to the general opinion of theologians, is defined: The conjugal union of man and woman, contracted between two qualified persons, which obliges them to live together throughout life (Catechism of Trent on Matrimony).In a sense, marriage can be a "sacrament of healing," in that, as the couple begins their journey there is a period of discovery that may reveal past aches and pains. If the couple works together on coming to terms with these emotions, "healing" will take place and a stronger emotional connection will develop and the foundations of the marriage will be strengthened.
