The
Permanence of Matrimony
When Jesus came, he
elevated matrimony to the same status it had originally possessed between
Adam and Eve—the status of a sacrament. Thus, any valid marriage between two
baptized people is a sacramental marriage and, once consummated, cannot be
dissolved. Jesus, therefore, taught that if anyone so married divorces and
remarries, that person is living in perpetual adultery, a state of mortal
sin.
