      Those who enter a sacramental marriage proclaim their participation in and with the values, beliefs, and mission of the Catholic Church. For this reason, the Church has a responsibility to ensure a certain quality of relationship and understanding as prerequisites for a sacramental marriage. Moreover, couples entering marriage have a right to experience the support of their faith community at this significant moment in their lives, and to receive the benefits of the wisdom of the community for the success of their marriage. The purpose of the marriage preparation process is, therefore, to allow the experience of the wider community to help a couple to look carefully at married life, as well as to anticipate any difficulties that they may experience so that their marriage may be a lifelong covenant. 

      Each of the two sexes is an image of the power and tenderness of God, with equal dignity though in a different way. The union of man and woman in marriage is a way of imitating in the flesh the Creator's generosity and fecundity: "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh." All human generations proceed from this union. CCC 2335
