c) The sign of the sacrament of marriage is the human bond ot love which characterizes every marriage.s

When the baptized enter into this bond,it becomes the sign of Christ's self-gift to the Church by which God's
grace, divine life enters into the life of couple.In order to make this sign authentic, it must be purified of all
selfishness. The love and faithfulness that Christian husbands and wives have for each other are the effective
sign, the fulfilled symbol and the real epiphany of the love of God that has appeared in Jesus Christ. If marriage
represents a special form of being human in Christ that is based on baptism,it is also a special form of sharing
in the death and resurrection of Christ. If marital love is seen as existing under the sign of Christ's cross. It must
also be seen as being sustained by giving and being given
