For
Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public
sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is
also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and
wife speaks of family values and also God's values.

In April 2009, St. Anthony Messenger magazine will publish a special issue on Catholics as a sacramental people. The articles will celebrate the richness of the seven sacraments in the everyday lives of today’s Catholics.
Through early 2009, we’ve given an opportunity for readers to contribute their experiences to the magazine about how the sacrament of marriage has touched them and what they have done for their marriage.
