In recent years, an increasing number of Catholics have attempted to get married outside of the Catholic Church, without regard for her laws concerning marriage. Couples do this in different ways and for many different reasons. Because knowledge of Catholic teaching is growing weaker in our culture, many people no longer realize that such weddings are invalid that is, they are not true marriages. And because they are invalid, these “marriages” have the tragic effect of alienating countless people from the fullness of Catholic life, particularly her sacraments.
Therefore, it is all the more wonderful thing these days when couples seek to be married validly in the Church, after having attempted marriage outside of the Church. Seeking a true marriage is a sure sign that God is present and at work in their lives. Whatever has happened in their past, God wants to lead couples closer to Him and to each other.
