marriage? for me, I define Marriage as a sacred ritual, the union of the man and woman in the eyes of God and in the eyes of People. It is a ritual whereas love is the who binds. marriage is also a due process. marriage is done in church or is being done in any place with he presence of God.

When someone begins on that arrangement called marriage, he is getting into something which is, to say the least, adventurous. When a couple get married, they are doing something they know nothing about. A marriage is something which exists primarily because each partner has postulated its existence and its continued existence. only with this foundation in place are marriages successful.

Unfortunately these days just about anyone can be married, regardless of whether they are truly in love or not. But to me, a true marriage is between two people who really do love eachother, and would do anything for eachother. They feel extremely greatful to be with the other, and embrace their love every day. They are happy just being in the presence of the other one. This is not to say that they never fight, but they still have a happy marriage.

Marriage is the union of two people in love and are willing to be together for the rest of their life. Marriage creates a permanent lifelong familial familial relationship between people who enter into it. It is a covenant and contractual agreement between its member. Marriage is a bonding whereby the members agrees to stay together in happy and hard times and will always protect one another no matter what. Goodlcuk!

definition of marriage can be found in any dictionary available. but the meaning of marriage can only be found in your heart. for me, marriage is the union of two persons blessed by God. marriage makes two person's heart and soul one. marriage is a blessing of having a partner, a bestfriend, a lover rolled into one person. marriage is life.

Marriage is partnership. I know that's a pretty obvious statement, but it best sums up what it is in my opinion! It's when two people want to live their life with someone and sometimes that means having to forgive like you never have before in your life! LOL :D Key word: PATIENCE!!!!!!! If I were to give one piece of advice to people going to marry or newlyweds, I'd tell them that the thing that might save it one day is the ability to have patience with your partner and being able to forgive them;)

I would define be merry at age or Be merry as you age. It requires lot of hard work, tears and fights and forgiveness and love and understanding and commitment. You have to constantly work at it tb stay merry at any age. here is a recipe for happy marriage: 1 cup consideration 1 cup courtesy 2 cupfuls flattery carefully concealed 1 gallon faith and trust in each other 2 cupfuls praise 1 small pinch of in-laws 1 reasonable budget, a generous dash of cooperation 3 teaspoon pure extract of "I'm sorry" 1 cup contentment 1 cup each confidence and encouragement 1 large or several small hobbies 1 cup blindness to the other's faults Flavor with frequent portions of recreation and a dash of happy memories. Stir well and remove any specks of jealousy, temper or criticism. Sweeten well with generous portions of love and keep warm with a steady flame of devotion. Never serve with cold shoulder.

The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife. Wedlock. A wedding. A contract made in due form of law, by which a free man and a free woman reciprocally engage to live with each other during their joint lives, in the union which ought io exist between husband and wife. By the terms freeman and freewoman in this definition are meant, not only that they are free and not slaves, but also that they are clear of all bars to a lawful marriage. To make a valid marriage, the parties must be willing to contract, able to contract, and have actually contracted. http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/m087.htm

Marriage is a sexually exclusive and equitable love relationship entered into voluntarily by two adults, solemnized by vows and recognized by themselves and others as the highest romantic achievement possible between two people.

The union of one man and one woman with both being sworn to remain forever loyal and faithful to one another, forsaking all others. After this follows the divorce.
