'The love of man and woman is made holy in the sacrament of marriage,
and becomes the mirror of your everlasting love', this quote literally
spell's out what the sacrament of marriage is for . Marriage is the
final sacrament of a catholic person's life, but marriage can only be
conceived in a church if one or both of the people receiving the
sacrament of marriage has had in this order a baptism, first communion
and is a confirmed catholic, then and only then can a marriage take
place in the house of God, marriage is a solemn contract between a man
and a woman who share love together.
There are many references to marriage and divorce in the bible most of
them coincide in the new testament in such chapters such as Matthew,
Mark, John, Corinthians and Ephesians . Most of the passages in new
testament really describe a man and a woman being faithful to each
other like Jesus was faithful to the church, for example in Ephseians
5 21-33, it was written ' wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as
to the lord . For your husband has authority over his wife just as
Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the

Annulment
In the exceptional case of an annulment the church classifies the
marriage as unofficial and therefore not legal , there are 12 grounds
on which an annulment can be granted these include
* One of the partners not consenting to the marriage in the first
place
* One spouse not understanding the implications of what they were
doing when they married
* The marriage not being consummated - no sexual act took place
Separation
Though this is may be the most painful, but necessary answer to a
marriage that has become unfeasible. This can lead to a civil divorce
without any blame being dealt to either partner. In this way certain
legal rights, the care of the children and any inheritance can be
protected.

Marriage is important because it provides law and order and teaches each member of the family discipline. This is seen in the responsibility the parents have to take towards their children to provide for them a happy and secure life. This makes the parents better people and creates a good role model for the kid. Back in high school, the most successful kids where those who had a traditional family. This can be seen at my high school where I observed that the top 10 students ranked based on their GPA. An example to one of these students was the valedictorian whose name was Rachel Koh. Rachel was from a good family and she was extremely successful. She had a 4.7 GPA, ran cross country, and played the violin in many important school concerts. Her parents support in each of those events was her motivator. She would always go to them and hug them after every concert and race as a way of showing gratitude towards them. This great family support gave her a sense of security pushed her to do extremely well in school and in her hobbies since her mind was free from other distractions. Because of this ideological traditional family support, Rachel was admitted into Stanford following her older brothers ' steps. Rachel was a sample of the top students that had good families who represented the 9 Out of the top 10 students born and raised in traditional marriages. Those nine students were all involved

In the book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (1999) John M. Gottman provides insight on the seven fundamental tools to construct positive relationships. Through long years of research, Gottman studied married couples and noted degenerative behaviors that hindered the formation and attainment of a long and healthy marriage. Gottman research focused on several key behavioral predictors of divorce, which he calls the “The Four Horsemen”; Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling.

Inside the article “Why Marriage is Good for You”, Maggie Gallagher makes claims that marriage improves many facets of an individual’s life; including both mental and physical health, longevity, finances, and reduced chances of infidelity (Gallagher). The statements made throughout the article reference many statistics and studies conducted by various organizations and individuals, however, Gallagher falls victim to a number of common logical fallacies. While this weakens Gallagher’s argument in the article, it does not necessarily make it false.
Fairfax, “Marriage is one of the core values of society. Almost 20 years ago, the well renowned black scholar and psychologist Dr. Na’im Akbar (1991) penned the following: ‘‘marriage is such an important lesson in manhood (womanhood) development. It is no wonder that every society requires some form of it’’ (p. 13).” This coincides with the values that I stated above that were considered important in my culture. Marriage is important to more that my culture obviously but in my culture there is always this well-known quote from the bible: “He who finds a wife, finds a good thing (NKJV Proverbs 18:22). That is basically religion and love in the same
Our society has adapted to a view in which newer is better, and if you are tired of the old, it can be easy replaced. If we were to show our current and future generations a genuine meaning of marriage and the sacred representation of reciting vows to uphold them, we could be aiding them in having a happier more meaningful marriage. Marriage should never be regarded as a means to improve your financial status, living situation, or social status. Marriage should be looked upon with the highest regard in which a couple can have the opportunity to experience with one another. Showing our current generations and the generations to come the true meaning of matrimony will not only increase the level of respect they will express in a union, but help develop values and morals that will aid them in other parts of their lives. Learning how to communicate effectively, respect another, trust, work hard, dedicate themselves, and problem solve within a marriage, can help them in many other endeavors. Creating these qualities and treating them how to uphold them to the highest honor will help not only in friendship, business relationship, and day to day interaction with others you may not know. Learning how to treat others starting with the ones you love the most will create a level of care inside of you to extend that feeling to others, possibly creating a better world

Marriage has gone through many changes throughout its history. It's earliest forms date back to the story of creation. It has developed a great deal since then. It is a simple fact that men and women can not survive without each other. Marriage is part of the created natural order, we were meant to be together.
Love conquers everything. Or at least, that’s what Romeo and Juliet thought. But marriage and love can be complicated, and some argue that marrying someone who shares your religious beliefs can make things much easier. Is having the same religious and spiritual beliefs part of criteria many people use when seeking a marriage partner? It is strongly felt that the person they are going to marry should have the same traditions and customs, and intensity of belief as they themselves do. For them, it is an imperative part of marriage. A correlation exists between religious shared beliefs in marriage and marital satisfaction, although the nature of the relationship is not certain. History says that religion starts wars. If that is true, what will it do to a dual-religion marriage? This paper will discuss people’s views on why it is actually a major criterion to have a partner that has the same religious beliefs.
When we think of marriage, the first thing that comes to mind is having a lasting relationship. Marriage is a commitment of two people to one another and to each other?s family, bonded by holy matrimony. When a couple plans to marry, they think of raising a family together, dedicating their life to each other. That?s the circle of life--our natural instinct to live and produce children and have those children demonstrate your own good morals. I have never been married; but I don?t understand why when two people get married and vow to be together for richer and poorer, better or worse, decide to just forget about that commitment. A marriage should be the most important decision a person makes in his or her life.
