The Three Blessings of Marriage
The faithful should also be shown that there are three blessings of marriage: children, fidelity and the Sacrament. These are blessings which to some degree compensate for the inconveniences referred to by the Apostle in the words: Such shall have tribulation of the flesh, and they lead to this other result that sexual intercourse, which is sinful outside of marriage, is rendered right and honorable.
Offspring
The first blessing is a family, that is to say, children born of a true and lawful wife. So highly did the Apostle esteem this blessing that he says:
Fidelity
The second advantage of marriage is faith, not indeed that virtue which we receive in Baptism; but the fidelity which binds wife to husband and husband to wife in such a way that they mutually deliver to each other power over their bodies, promising at the same time never to violate the holy bond of Matrimony. This is easily inferred from the words pronounced by Adam when taking Eve as his wife, and which were afterwards confirmed by Christ our Lord in the Gospel:
Matrimonial fidelity also demands that they love one another with a special, holy and pure love; not as adulterers love one another but as Christ loves His Church. This is the rule laid down by the Apostle when he says
Sacrament
The third advantage is called the Sacrament, that is to say, the indissoluble bond of marriage. As the Apostle has it: β

The faithful should also be shown that there are three blessings of marriage: children, fidelity and the Sacrament. These are blessings which to some degree compensate for the inconveniences referred to by the Apostle in the words: Such shall have tribulation of the flesh, and they lead to this other result that sexual intercourse, which is sinful outside of marriage, is rendered right and honorable.
Offspring
The first blessing is a family, that is to say, children born of a true and lawful wife. So highly did the Apostle esteem this blessing that he says:
βThe woman shall be saved by bearing childrenβ (1 Tim.2.15) These words are to be understood not only of bearing children, but also of bringing them up and training them to the practice of piety; for the Apostle immediately subjoins: If she continue in faith. Scripture says: βHast thou children? Instruct them and bow down their necks from childhood.β (Ecclesiasticus 7.25) The same is taught by the Apostle; while Tobias, Job and other holy Patriarchs in Sacred Scripture furnish us with beautiful examples of such training. The duties of both parents and children will, however, be set forth in detail when we come to speak of the fourth Commandment. Fidelity
The second advantage of marriage is faith, not indeed that virtue which we receive in Baptism; but the fidelity which binds wife to husband and husband to wife in such a way that they mutually deliver to each other power over their bodies, promising at the same time never to violate the holy bond of Matrimony. This is easily inferred from the words pronounced by Adam when taking Eve as his wife, and which were afterwards confirmed by Christ our Lord in the Gospel:
βWherefore a man shall leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and they shall be two in one flesh.β (Gen. 2.24) It is also inferred from the words of the Apostle: βThe wife has not power of her own body, but the husband: and in like manner, the husband has not power of his own body but the wife.β (1 Cor. 7.4) Justly, then, did the Lord in the Old Law ordain the most severe penalties against adulterers who violated this conjugal fidelity. Matrimonial fidelity also demands that they love one another with a special, holy and pure love; not as adulterers love one another but as Christ loves His Church. This is the rule laid down by the Apostle when he says
: βHusbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church.β And surely (Christβs) love for His Church was immense; it was a love inspired not by His own advantage, but only by the advantage of His spouse.Sacrament
The third advantage is called the Sacrament, that is to say, the indissoluble bond of marriage. As the Apostle has it: β
The Lord commanded that the wife depart not from the husband, and if she depart that she remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the husband put away his wife.β (1 Cor. 7.10) And truly, if marriage as a Sacrament represents the union of Christ with His Church, it also necessarily follows that just as Christ never separates Himself from His Church, so in like manner the wife can never be separated from her husband in so far as regards the marriage tie.#RomanCatechism http://www.boston-catholic-journal.com/The-Catechism-of-the-Council-of-Trent-New-Edition.pdf
