III. Matrimonial Consent

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1637
In
marriages with disparity of cult the Catholic spouse has a particular task:
“For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the
unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband.”¹³⁸ It is a
great joy for the Christian spouse and for the Church if this
“consecration” should lead to the free conversion of the other spouse
to the Christian faith.¹³⁹ Sincere married love, the humble and patient
practice of the family virtues, and perseverance in prayer can prepare the
non-believing spouse to accept the grace of conversion.
