Why is marriage considered sacred in Christian teaching?

Answered in 1 source

Marriage is sacred because it is established by God and represents the covenant relationship between Christ and His Church.

Marriage is viewed as sacred in Christian teaching because it is instituted by God. It is not merely a social contract but a covenant that reflects God's covenant with His people. Ephesians 5 delineates this sacredness through the mystery of one flesh, which symbolizes the unity and intimacy intended in marriage. The seriousness of this relationship is underscored by the call to honor the vows made before God, illustrating a reflection of Christ's unwavering commitment to His Church.
