Abstract
The reality of marriage is a complex one and at the same timeit has to assume other external factors such as context, familyof provenance, crises, etc. As a consenquence, to live as acouple needs great amounts of maturity, patience and love.However, the reflexion that this paper intends to institute is precisely how this anthropological unity finds in the sacramentaldimension a way of salvation as much for its members as forthe whole family. The sacrament has its roots in deep humanreality and from there one can comprehend its transcendenthorizon. What is being celebrated is life, a life which gains itsprofound sense when there is faith in Jesus Christ, whichmakes it possible that a relation of two persons becomes a signof Trinitarian love in the midst of a community.
