Canon Law of the Catholic Church.
Canon 1056 The essential properties of marriage are unity and indissolubility, which in Christian marriage obtain a special firmness in the virtue of the Sacrament.
Canon 1055.1 The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a Sacrament.
CCC 1602
Sacred Scripture begins with the creation of man and woman in the image and likeness of God and concludes with a vision of "the wedding feast of the Lamb." Scripture speaks throughout of marriage and its "mystery" its institution and the meaning God has given it, its origin and its end, its various realizations throughout the history of salvation .
Marriage is a communion vitae (communion of life and love) between one man and one woman and is permanent.
"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cling to his wife and the two shall become one flesh."
"What God has joined, no man must divide."
