Marriage is the icon of God’s love for us. Indeed, Good is communion too: the three Persons of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit live eternally in perfect unity. And this is precisely the mystery of Matrimony: God makes of the two spouses one single life. The image of God is the married couple: the man and the woman; not only the man, not only the woman, but both together. This is the image of God: love, God’s covenant with us is represented in that covenant between man and woman.

When a man and woman celebrated the Sacrament of Matrimony God as it were “is mirrored” in them; he impresses in them his own features and the indelible character of his love.
