RT Article T1 Sexual intimacy in marriage: The sacrament of the sacrament JF The Australasian Catholic record VO 100 IS 1 SP 52 OP 61 A1 Frew, Michael K. LA English PB Informit YR 2023 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1842992686 AB One of the difficulties in reflecting on the theology of the sacrament of "matrimony" is that its theology may seem estranged from the reality of "marriage". In this article a broader approach is used to address this difficulty, particularly with respect to that aspect of the sacrament that is both very human and very "of God"-that is, the intense intrinsic closeness of the conjugal act, its wonder, and life-giving grace.
