Jesus' attitude towards marriage.This is expressed most clearly in Mark 10: 2-9, in a controversy with the Pharisees. Jesus is confronted with the question of divorce. Jesus does not enter into the casuistry, but raises the whole matter to a higher level.And points to the original order of God's creation. His conclusion is "what God has joined together, let no man put asunder". It would be wrong to understand the pronouncement of Jesus about marriage as a legal statement. It is above all a prophetic and messianic proclamation of salvation and grace. In Jesus' proclamation, marriage is seen both as part of the original order of creation and as an aspect of the order of salvation of God in his kingdom of love and faithfulness in future.
The ultimate goal of Christian economy of salvation is the building up of the Kingdom of God.The sacraments of the Church are the means for realizing this objective.The sacrament of matrimony has a particular role in the realization of this objective.My task is to place before you this specific role which this sacrament in the Church and in the world with a view to facilitate the coming of the Kingdom of God.
