When my husband is baptized will I have to be married again?

[Krysta_Coyle]

Hi, I was listening to Immaculate Heart Radio and I have a question about something that was said that pertains to my own marraige. My husband and I were married in the Catholic Church but he was not baptized. On the radio they said this is a valid marraige but not a sacramental marraige. Does this mean I did not receive the sacrament of marraige? Also we have been married for nine years. He is going through RCIA right now. After he is baptized will our marraige then be sacramental? Do we have to get married again to have a sacramental marraige. I am very saddened by this and I always thought my marraige was a sacrament. I want my marraige to be holy under God. Thank you for your time and consideration. -Krysta Coyle

Hi,

The Church considers your marriage to be valid. It can’t be sacramental if one spouse is not baptized. But when your husband is baptized your marriage will automatically become sacmental.
