Marriage is a contract as well as a sacrament; therefore, it encompasses both a sacred aspect and a lawful contract. The contract aspect arises from the mutual consent and agreement to cohabit, while the sacred dimension derives from its religious significance.

If either party is unwilling to live harmoniously with their partner, the relationship is unlikely to be a happy one.
