Natural marriage
In Catholic canon law, natural marriage is the covenant "by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring". It is distinguished from a sacramental or Christian marriage, in which the two parties involved are baptized.
