What is the difference between religious marriage and civil marriage?
Religious v Civil. The main difference between marrying in a religious or civil ceremony is that a religious ceremony is about being wed in the eyes of God while a civil ceremony is about being wed in the eyes of the law.
What is a sacramental marriage commitment?
The Sacrament of Matrimony is a lasting commitment of a man and a woman to a lifelong partnership, established for the good of each other and the procreation of their children. ... Through the Sacrament of Matrimony, the Church teaches that Jesus gives the strength and grace to live the real meaning of marriage. A higher calling in this New Covenant, Christ’s new plan for mankind, there is a need for grace in marriage.
It would be upon parents that Jesus must depend for the continual replenishment of his Mystical Body: that union-in-grace whereby all baptized Catholics are one in Christ.
From now on, for Christian parents it would not be enough to beget, rear, educate, and train offspring, Jesus would expect parents to form and nurture the souls of their children in the pattern of sainthood. Without guiding grace and strengthening grace, this would be a hopeless task.
