“All Orthodox catechisms and textbooks define marriage as a sacrament or a ‘mystery’ of the Church. At first glance, this definition may appear strange; marriage is practiced by Christians and non-Christians alike, by atheists, by generations of human beings who never heard what the word ‘sacrament’ means. Man is born, gets married, begets children, and dies. These are the laws of nature which God established and blessed; but marriage particularly is singled out by the Church. The very special blessing which it bestows upon the man and the woman who get married is called a ‘sacrament.’ Why?”
