The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the sacrament of Matrimony as:

"[a]l covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament." (Article 7, p 1601).
