Marriage as a sacrament gives two kinds of grace. First is the increase in sanctifying grace, imparted at the very moment that the sacrament is received. As the just-wed couple turn away from the altar, their souls are spiritually stronger, spiritually more beautiful than when they came to the altar a few moments earlier. Second is sacramental grace - God provides whatever actual graces the couple may need, through the years, to make a happy and successful marriage. For its full effectiveness this grace needs the cooperation of both partners to the marriage. The grace is intended for that single entity, that "one-from-two," which a married couple has become. But if one partner should prove derelict to Christian duty, the other spouse still can count on exceptional graces of strength and wisdom. To be more specific, the sacramental grace of Marriage: perfects the natural love of husband and wife; elevates this love to a supernatural level which far surpasses mere mental and physical compatibility; gives to marital love a sanctifying quality, making it an instrument for growth in holiness and marriage a path to sainthood; Imparts conscientiousness in the begetting and rearing of children; gives prudence in the innumerable problems consequent upon family life; and enables husband and wife to adjust to one another's shortcomings and to bear with one another's faults. This is only a little of what the grace of Matrimony will accomplish for those who, by their cooperation, give God a chance to show what He can do.
