The early Christians felt that people were called to holiness by living the great Law of Love. Early Christians set a special value to the marriage relationship--because they understood it as a bond of love, the same as the bond Christ and His community-the Church. Today, the Catholic Church celebrate marriage as an effective sign of God's love.
