Marriage as Vocation
- Catholic marriage is a vocation, a calling from God, not just a personal decision.
- It's the primary relationship through which individuals become saints, their vehicle to God.
Two Vocations
- Everyone shares a primary vocation, a destiny to be with God in heaven.
- Our secondary vocation, like marriage, is the path we take to reach that destiny.
