Catechism Paragraph

¶ 1616

This is what the Apostle Paul makes clear when he says: "Husbands, Love your wives, as Christ Loved the Church and Gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her," adding at once: "'For this Reason a man shall leave his Father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one. This is a great Mystery, and I mean in reference to Christ and the Church." 110
