Marriage is a covenant between a couple and God where spouses promise faithfulness to each other and God. The procreation and education of children, while important aspects of marriage, are not requirements as married couples without children can still have meaningful and fruitful lives through charity. Marriage was created by God to unite a man and woman through mutual help, love, and sanctification for the purpose of generating children. Like other vocations, Christian marriage is a long path of sanctification rather than an easy way of life as couples are called to holiness and service within their relationship and family through following Christ.
