"Two other sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony, are directed towards the salvation of others...

...if they contribute as well to personal salvation, it is through service to others that they do so." CCC 1534

Through living the Theology of the Body, spouses sanctify each other. Through living in that all encompassing complementarity, man teaches woman the meaning of her body and soul, and woman teaches man the meaning of his body and soul. Each comes to a deeper understanding of God, the Holy Trinity, and their relationship to Him. Through God's gift of children, husband and wife are brought closer to an understanding of Jesus' command that we become like children in order to enter the gates of Heaven. Service and sacrifice to each other and their children bring personal sanctification to the spouses; obedience to their parents and service of all of their family bring personal sanctification to the children.

Through living the Theology of the Body, celibate men and women dedicate their lives to witnessing the union with God in heaven that marriage images, as well as interceding for all of the Body of Christ, and all of the world. Service, both in the form of intercessory prayer and material help, brings personal sanctification to each of them as well.
