	Catholic Marriage \| Catholic-Pages.com \| Sacrament of Holy Matrimony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		There's a tendency to think that holiness is for the Pope and priests and nuns who give up their lives for God, for people who lived in another age when there were kings and queens and crusades and inquisitions.
		Holy Matrimony does not impart a character, instead it creates an indissoluble bond between the couple which is only broken by the death of one of the spouses.
		The Holy Father also exhorts married couples in Familiaris Consortio to be the primary force in the Apostolate to married couples, teaching other married couples the value of the Church's teaching on the family, sexuality, on birth control, on marriage itself.

	Christian view of marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An argument for the institution of the sacrament of Matrimony by Christ himself, and its occasion, is advanced by Bernard Orchard in his article The Betrothal and Marriage of Mary to Joseph [1].
		The ideal references are found in the Holy Family (Saint Joseph and Mary, the mother of Jesus).
		However, a priest or deacon is not permitted to enter into matrimony after ordination, whether he has become divorced or widowed, or even if he had not been married at the time of ordination.

	Holy Matrimony by Pauline Zingleman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Replacing His clear teaching as found in Holy Scripture and by the unbroken tradition of fifteen centuries with their own opinions, the founders of the principal Protestant denominations began by permitting divorce on the sole ground of adultery.
		For while Holy Matrimony is in the nature of a contract, and Penance in the nature of a judicial process, the three first‑mentioned take the form of a religious consecration of the recipients.
		Since the matrimonial contract is in itself the Sacrament of Matrimony, it follows that the rite of the sacrament, its matter and form, must be looked for only in the mutual consent of the contracting parties.

	Holy Matrimony - What's really undermining the sanctity of marriage? By Dahlia Lithwick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Within nanoseconds of the Massachusetts Supreme Court's declaration that gay marriage is protected by the Constitution came predictions of the end of life as we know it: The president, speaking from London, warned: "Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman.
