Marriage is a lifelong choice, a vocation, and a sacrament, and preparing for it takes more than planning the ceremony. Over time the partners will reflect, discuss, and take action toward building a more complete unity in mind, body, and heart. Through the sacrament of marriage, spouses are joined together in the Lord and become a new sign of God's presence to the world.
