Explain in detail the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church about the sacrament of Marriage.

The Roman Catholic Church has various teachings when it comes to marriage.  In this essay, I will be exploring just a select handful of them.

        There are four main subjects that the Roman Catholic Church teaches.  These are split up to make four separate sub-headings.  The first of these that I will be investigating is Sacrament.  The Roman Catholic Church teaches us that Marriage is a holy Sacrament, and should be treated as sacredly as any of the others.  It allows the couple to grow closer in their bond to God, by being united in His eyes.  It is also seen as another step with God in the couple’s life.  In their journey, they will gradually move closer and closer to God, until death does them part.

        The second sub-heading that I will be looking into is Permanent.  The Roman Catholic Church teaches that Marriage should be eternal.  This can be seen in the vows, ‘Till death do us part’.  This is showing that the bond between the couple should not be broken until God sees fit to end it.

        The third sub-heading that I will be studying is Exclusive.  This symbolises a monogamous relationship between a man and a woman.  The Roman Catholic Church does not recognise homosexual marriage, and so far it is illegal.

        The last sub-heading that I will be exploring is Life Giving. ...
