Title: Marriage as a sacrament : a theology in transition Abstract: The theology of marriage as sacrament seems to be in a crucial period of transition. Catholic theology has gradually moved from the highly legalistic position of the medieval and Tridentine period to the more personalistic perspective of Vatican It Still, the current thinking seems to be often a blending of traditional and contemporary insights, resulting in a theological perspective that has severe limitations. Those engaged in teaching often find it difficult to deal with the theology of marriage in a manner that is compatible with contemporary experience. Those involved in canonical and pastoral work also find that the current theological thinking does not allow them to deal adequately with modern marital dilemmas. As a result, discussion of marriage as a sacrament is often left a moot question. What Ralmer pointed out some years ago is still true: with all the discussion about marriage in our time, little attention is paid to the crucial sacramental dimension. In light of all this, I would agree with Orsy that the time has come to look for newinsights, new categories and broader horizons in our considerations of marriage as a sacrarhent. In this article I would like to focus on some of the key factors that are coming into play in this reformulation of a sacramental theology of marriage. These factors are as follows: 1) the dynamic nature of marriage; 2) the integration of the secular and sacred dimensions of marriage; 3) the centrality of love, especially romantic love in today's marriages; 4) the relational and inclusive view of faith; 5) the growing'linkage between ministry and marriage; and 6) the effect of liberation themes of sexism, oppression and social justice on marriage.
