Matrimony
THE MEANING OF THE
SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY
Matrimony is a formal word for marriage. It is the
state of being married or the ceremony of getting
married. The word "matrimony" is derived from the
Latin word "mater," meaning "mother," and
"monius," meaning "one." This suggests that
matrimony is a union between two people who are
committed to each other for life and who will create
a family together.
