Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged in a variety of ways, depending on the culture or subculture in which it is found. Such a union, often formalized via a wedding ceremony, may also be called matrimony.
People marry for many reasons, including one or more of the following: legal, social, emotional, economical, spiritual, and religious. These might include arranged marriages, family obligations, the legal establishment of a nuclear family unit, the legal protection of children and public declaration of commitment.
Marriage practices are very diverse across cultures, yet almost every known society has had some form of marriage between a man and a woman. In some societies an individual is limited to being in one such couple at a time (monogamy), while other cultures allow a male to have more than one wife (polygyny) or, less commonly, a female to have more than one husband (polyandry). Some societies also allow marriage between two males or two females. Societies frequently have other restrictions on marriage based on the ages of the participants, pre-existing kinship, and membership in religious or other social groups.
The act of marriage usually creates normative or legal obligations between the individuals involved. In some societies these obligations also extend to certain family members of the married persons. Almost all cultures that recognize marriage also recognize adultery as a violation of the terms of marriage, and forbid incestuous marriages. In cultures that allow the dissolution of a marriage this is known as divorce.
Marriage is usually recognized by the state, a religious authority, or both. It is often viewed as a contract. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution irrespective of religious affiliation, in accordance with marriage laws of the jurisdiction. If recognized by the state, by the religion(s) to which the parties belong or by society in general, the act of marriage changes the personal and social status of the individuals who enter into it.
In many countries today, each marriage partner has the choice of keeping his or her property separate or combining properties. In the latter case, called community property, when the marriage ends by divorce each owns half. In many legal jurisdictions, laws related to property and inheritance provide by default for property to pass upon the death of one party in a marriage firstly to the spouse and secondly to the children. Wills and trusts can make alternative provisions for property succession.
In some legal systems, the partners in a marriage are “jointly liable” for the debts of the marriage. This has a basis in a traditional legal notion called the “Doctrine of Necessities” whereby a husband was responsible to provide necessary things for his wife. Where this is the case, one partner may be sued to collect a debt for which they did not expressly contract. Critics of this practice note that debt collection agencies can abuse this by claiming an unreasonably wide range of debts to be expenses of the marriage. The cost of defense and the burden of proof is then placed on the non-contracting party to prove that the expense is not a debt of the family. The respective maintenance obligations, both during and eventually after a marriage, are regulated in most jurisdictions; alimony is one such method.
Some have attempted to analyze the institution of marriage using economic theory; for example, anarcho-capitalist economist David D. Friedman has written a lengthy and controversial study of marriage as a market transaction (the market for husbands and wives). In the past the economic status of women was enhanced through marriage; however, as more women work nowadays, men gain more economically than women.

If you are seeking Christian marriage, trust in the Lord, and wait for the companion God has chosen for you. Getting ahead of God by not waiting only brings the disaster of being unequally yolked against God’s biblical harmony.
It is important for young single Christian men to understand what type of women they should avoid. Many women who call themselves “Christian” these days are nothing more than feminists, disguised as Christians. A true women of Faith will trust God’s word concerning women, and not seek the worldly pattern of ambition for authority. In Christian marriage God has instituted equality by the Gospel. …there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28. Yet as the Scripture says, being one in Christ, can only come by the fellowship and intimacy of obeying the entirety of the Gospel calling, through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Moreover the New Testament Scriptures exhort us to fulfill our calling by acknowledging our roles as male and female. It is extremely important to honor God’s Word by seeking to find out what it says concerning gender. Satan has attacked and distorted gender roles, and only sin accompanied by pain and suffering come when God’s word is not heeded. Only obedience to God’s word will produce lasting joy and fulfillment that marriage can bring.
Something to consider…
