Religion and Marriage

Marriage was ordained by God. Without God as the foundation it is no different than any other relationship.

Religion matters the most. If we go into some accounts in the bible about those who married outside the covenant, they were greatly influenced and caused the downfall of his and others spirituality. Like Samson, he was not suppose to be dating with Delilah but he still did and it was Delilah that was the cause of his downfall.

religion becomes important in a marriage relationship for each party (husband and wife) will have the grip of norms and ethical values in carrying out their respective roles

I do not beleive religion is of any importance in any relationship, marriages should be based on personal understanding. Most importantly when we say religion, we mean the way a person is brought up by his family, example in a catholic family girls are brought up to be extrovert and appreciate freedom while in muslims girls are brought up to be god fearing and submissive. But we need to understand that this does not hold true for every catholic family or every muslim family, so its good to know the family values and the way a person thinks rather than religion or love.
