The Vocation of Marriage

The Vocation of Marriage

Jesus said, "From the beginning of creation, God made people, men and women.
For this reason they shall leave their fathers and mothers and joined together and the
two shall become one."

In Christian marriage a man and woman are called to:

1. grow in love and friendship for one another

This means to love each other forever as one.

2. share their life together and grow in holiness - tapu and mana

This means to become one and as one towards God.

3. love and educate their children

This means to teach them about God and Christianity.

Vocation - a strong feeling of suitability (feeling right and appropriate about someone or

something) for a specific or particular occupation.
