Summary/Abstract: Through an interdisciplinary approach linking ritual studies, microsociology, anthropology and the binding communication paradigm in particular, this article broaches upon Catholic marriage as a subject of studies. This is a first attempt at considering the strength of the link established in the Catholic marriage, by focusing more notably on interaction and communication contexts. It is suggested that in the future, connections could be drawn between rites and commitment, according to the meaning of the very same theory.
