Called as a Married Person

A married person is a woman or man who:

• Is called by God, through the Sacrament of Marriage, to vow faithful love to a husband or wife
• Shares a relationship with a wife or husband. This, ideally, is self-giving, and life-giving— for both
• Is committed to helping the spouse grow to human and Christian maturity
• Nourishes and fosters his/her relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer and service
• Models and teaches Christian faith and values to the children of the family
• Wherever time, personal talents, resources and family responsibilities allow—lives the Christian call to serve, in a variety of roles—in both the local parish community, and further afield, within the wider community
