Matrimony

* The Holy Spirit descends over the bride and groom that they may become one body.

* Through the matrimonial ceremony two bridal crowns are put on the heads of both, bride and groom, that we may remember the heavenly crowns.

Through marriage a sanctified home (or a family church) that pleases God is originated.
