For
Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public
sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is
also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and
wife speaks of family values and also God's values.

Readers share reflections on marriage
In April 2009, St. Anthony Messenger magazine published a special issue on Catholics as a sacramental people. The articles celebrate the richness of the seven sacraments in the everyday lives of today’s Catholics. As an interactive element of that issue, readers had an opportunity to contribute their experiences to the magazine about how the sacrament of marriage has touched them and what they have done for their marriage.
