The sacrament of penance and reconciliation constitutes an integral part of the Christian life. It restores the state of sanctifying grace lost by man as a result of mortal sin. Confession also plays a major role in the preparation of prospective spouses for being joined in the sacrament of matrimony. No mandatory duty is imposed at this point by the legislation yet the sacrament of penance is strongly recommended before the holy matrimony takes place in order to render it more fruitful. The priest preparing the prospective spouses for the holy matrimony is obliged to raise the question of premarital confession and be of help should the need arise.The confessor of the prospective spouses should be characterised by appropriate spiritual and intellectual formation. He should demonstrate particular tactfulness and thoughtfulness when asking questions, especially those concerning premarital sex. The minister’s teaching ought to result in providing positive guidelines for the future married life.The prospective spouses are supposed to fulfill all the acts of the penitent: repentance, disclosure of sins and reparation. A careful examination of conscience is yet another significant component paving the way for a good confession and fruitful matrimony.

Marriage, elevated by Christ to the rank of a sacrament, is not only God’s response to the split initiated by the devil’s temptation in the Garden of Eden, the restoration of the original unity and indissolubility, but it reflects the inner life and love of the Holy Trinity, which enables spouses to live in an attitude of total self-giving. The relationship of a woman and a man, based on faith, hope and love, is sanctified by the presence and constant accompaniment of the Spirit sent by the Father and Son, thanks to which their daily existential hardships and difficulties in spiritual struggle become possible to overcome. The sacrament of marriage, modelled on the close relationship between Christ and the Church and implementing this covenant of love, is a space for life, prayer and witness to God's love for spouses. As such, it is a rock against which the attacks of powers of darkness crash.
PL
Małżeństwo podniesione przez Chrystusa do rangi sakramentu nie tylko jest odpowiedzią Boga na rozłam zapoczątkowany kuszeniem przez diabła w ogrodzie Eden, przywróceniem pierwotnej jedności i nierozerwalności, ale stanowi odzwierciedlenie wewnętrznego życia i miłości Trójcy Świętej, co umożliwia małżonkom życie w postawie całkowitego daru z siebie. Oparty na wierze, nadziei i miłości związek kobiety i mężczyzny uświęcony jest obecnością i stałym towarzyszeniem posłanego przez Ojca i Syna Ducha, dzięki czemu ich codzienne zmagania egzystencjalne i trudności w walce duchowej stają się możliwe do przezwyciężenia. Sakrament małżeństwa, wzorowany na ścisłym związku Chrystusa i Kościoła oraz realizujący to przymierze miłości, stanowi przestrzeń życia, modlitwy i dawania świadectwa o miłości Boga wobec małżonków. Jako taki jest skałą, o którą rozbijają się ataki sił ciemności.
