Matrimony is not considered a sacrament of Christian initiation; rather, it is one of the seven sacraments in Christianity, specifically recognized in Catholicism as a sacrament of service. The sacraments of Christian initiation are Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, which are essential for a person's entry into the Christian faith. Matrimony, while significant for the Christian community and individual couples, serves to unite a man and woman in a covenantal relationship and is oriented towards the mutual sanctification of the spouses and the procreation of children.
