Marriage And Marriage
Marriage is a lifelong commitment made between men and women. People get married to have a love built family. Sociologist define marriage as "A
socially recognized union between two or more people with the notion of permanence and a legal contract between two or more people that establishes
certain rights and obligations" (Open Education Sociology Dictionary, 2017). Some families force their kids to marry the ones they chose so they
arrange the marriage for them mostly to the girls and they do not have a choice but to obey and accept it. Others marry for a religious reason they
develop a strong belief of sex before marriage is adultery and dishonouring God so they tie the knot in front of their family and friends in church or
mosques or other religious places to fulfil their belief and build a family. Also families tend to have a long life expectancy if their marriage is
healthy. In the research that was done by Max Planck institution for marriage and life expectancy, it shows males with younger wives would have a
high life expectancy and healthy life. In this essay firstly I will be discussing how society view marriage towards females, secondly how marriage
have a positive effect on children. And lastly the negative effects on women's polygamy marriage can have.
In the ancient world women had no say to whom they want to marry and there was no such thing as love based relationship among them, it was all
about the heiress. According to the article by Joshua J. Mark " In

Marriage And Modern Marriage
Today, the idea of marriage conjures images of bashful brides beautifully draped in all white, of grandiose flower arrangements climbing towards the
ceiling, of romance personified. As an institution in this modern world, marriage represents the apex of romantic love, with an entire industry of
magazines, movies, and television shows devoted to perpetuating marriage as an idealized symbol of the ultimate love between two people. Contrarily,
as a sociological institution, marriage comes from much more clinical and impersonal origins, contrasting with the passion surrounding modern
understandings of the institution. Notably, french anthropologist Claude Levi–Strauss theorizes that the institution of marriage emerged from a need to
form alliances between groups, with women functioning as the property exchanged so that such alliances could be solidified (Levi–Strauss). This
function of marriage endured throughout much of human history, even transcending different cultures, so often, in plays from past centuries, marriage
plots function not like a familiar Katherine Heigl romantic comedy but rather like a business deal. This disparity leaves modern audiences who grew up
on these movies unable to understand the at times strange, clinical nature of marriage in plays such as Goldoni's A Servant To Two Masters.
Furthermore, without this knowledge of the historical practice of marriage, audiences cannot clearly understand the dynamic between fathers and
daughters like Pantaloon and

CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION Marriage is one of the deepest and most complex involvements of human relationships. It is a corner stone of society and a very
necessary part of the social system. It is a crucial and sacred bond between two personalities merging into one for ideas, attitudes, habits and likes and
dislikes. In Philippines marriage is considered a lifelong partnership. It is the foundation stone on which the family is built. Basically marriage is a
social and legal contract. People marry great number of reasons– personal or social. Usually they have a certain preconceived notions about the kind of
person they would like to marry. The large percentage of separation each year, non–marital ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It plays an important role in transmitting culture and civilization to future generations. Nowadays, family is becoming just an individualistic conjugal
family, not even aware of its roots. From times immemorial, Filipinos have tried to idealize and sanctify the institution of marriage as no other civil
society has done so far (Diwan 2005). The concept of marriage–a sort of man–woman relationship as a responsible one–to–one unit of society–evolved
a unique human family system. Its essential components were intercourse, procreation of children and living together with mutual obligations and
responsibilities to the care of offspring. The traditional Filipino family was an institution, a joint family system, characterized by homogeneous
togetherness of parents, grandparents, sons and daughters, their spouses, even uncles and aunts. Marriage is not merely a private contract, but a social
institution of great public value and concern. Since the 1940s and 1950s, the composition of families has changed, with marriage rates declining
substantially. Cherlin (2004) discusses the deinstitutionalization of marriage. Society has become more accepting of different forms of marriage and
alternatives to marriage. As social science research and government surveys increasingly show, the decline in marriage since the 1960s has been
accompanied by a rise in a number of serious social problems. Since the 1960s, marriage has moved from being a companionate type of

Marriage And Family : The Importance Of Marriage
The animal mates, but man marries. The significance of distinction is simple and clear. Mating is biological while marriage is social and cultural.
Marriage implies a ceremony, a union with social sanctions, and recognition of obligations to the community assumed by those entering this
relationship. As Malinowski long ago pointed out, marriage among mankind is always in the mores. Marriage and family are two different but correlated
things.
Marriage may be defined as a socially sanctioned union of one or more men with one or more women with the expectation that they will play the roles
of husband and wife.
Marriage [is a] socially recognized and approved union between individuals, who commit to one another with the expectation of a stable and lasting
intimate relationship. It begins with aceremony known as a wedding, which formally unites the marriage partners.
In most contemporary industrialized societies, marriage is certified by the government.
A marriage is a legally recognized union between a man and a woman in which he are united sexually; cooperate economically; and may give birth to,
adopt or rear children. The union is assumed to be permanent (although in reality it may be dissolved b separation or divorce).

Marriage Vs Marriage In Hamlet
Marriage is the legally recognized union of two people, whereas a relationship is merely defined as a connection between two things, or in this case,
between two people (OED). In the Elizabethan age, marriage was mainly arranged for political alliances and the merging of wealth in noble families
(Vasuki). While relationships refer to the meaningful connections between people,marriage was more of a tool for advancement. Shakespeare's plays
demonstrate these societal conventions by organizing marriage plots fueled by political or financial gain. Likewise, the absence of romantic
relationships in these plays reflects the period's cultural norm in which romantic relationships were mainly nonexistent and marriages were pursued for
protection rather than love. The treatment of marriage and relationships in Hamlet is side railed by the Hamlet's revenge and bias, whereas
relationships in the form of premarital sex are the primary focus of Measure for Measure. Nonetheless, this essay will analyze both of Gertrude's
marriages in Hamlet to prove that they are predominantly loveless tools for kings to pursue their personal agendas. This analysis will provide a frame
of reference or lens, through which this paper will outline the problematic nature of Measure for Measure's sexual relationships.

The Marriage Of Arranged Marriage
How often have you allowed someone to choose your clothes, shoes, food, holiday, school, career? Not that often, so how about letting someone
choose your husband or wife? That is how arranged marriages work, someone else choses your spouse for you. We are now living in a generation
where we are highly influenced by what we see in the media. Cultures that practice arranged marriage are now shifting toward the Western norms of
marriage. Many people are not familiar with arranged marriages and come to judge to quickly without having any knowledge on the topic. Arranged
marriage is a marriage that is organized by two families for the marriage of their son or daughter, it is an old tradition that has many flaws and
errors due to todays standards (Medora, Larson, Hortacsu & Dave). Several people look past these flaws and continue to practice this repetitive area
of life. Arranged marriages tend to have tradition and cultural issues behind them, these marriages also fall inline with Marx' theory of social class.
Lastly, arranged marriages are not the same as they once were due to the rapid growth in technology and changes in social norms.
Arranges marriages have been evolving over the years and becoming less strict due to the different social values Canadians have. The Canadian
society finds it odd that one has to marry someone else without even meeting, so now families still arrange them but they let the future couple talk for

typically consists of. Waking up to cook breakfast and take the children to school. None of the participants worked but spent the majority of their day
cleaning, cooking and taking care of the children. The men all worked. One inside the home and the other two outside the home. Their days consisted
of working straight shifts for approximately 10 hours. The male participant that worked inside the home contributed to the house work more than then
men who did not, however, all men still helped out on less than thirty percent of the household chores. In the martial satisfaction scale, The women
reported lower marital satifaction than their male counterparts. Cross referencing my data with the article, married men still report having higher life
satisfaction than single men. Whereas married women report having lower life satisfaction based on the quality of the marriage. Married men as well

The Marriage Of Arranged Marriage
For Better or for Worse My parents had a choice to marry for love, but, unfortunately, their parents did not. Imagine the world where family members
or close friends chose your spouse based on their expectations. Should this be the way to go about marriage, or does this hinder a person's ability to
live for themselves? In India alone, around 90% of marriages are arranged by their families (CNN). They would choose who ever they believe would
best fit the person, but not necessarily love them (Queano). Although arranged marriage is a custom in many countries, is it the right thing to do?
People deserve the right to choose for themselves whom they will marry. Marriage is about love and finding the right person that makes you the
happiest, rather than someone who's just there for your benefit. According to Asia–Pacific Economic Blog:
An arranged marriage is one where the families have pre–decided on a spouse for the child. The two people getting married often do not know each
other, and have no choice in the matter. It is a highly traditional practice in many Indian and Asian cultures, and has been practiced for centuries. The
debate on this issue is difficult because the views differ greatly depending on your culture. (Economic Blog )

Cohabitation Between Marriage And Marriage
Modern culture is constantly changing; things that were once taboo, and in some instances forbidden are now viewed as normal and are expected.
One of these previously taboo ideas is cohabitation. Cohabitation is the act of living together while in a romantic relationship, prior to marriage.
(Steinberg, Bornstein, Vandell, and Rook, p. 450, 2011) More and more couples are cohabitating, according to some studies approximately two
–thirds
of couples live together before they get married. (Luscombe, 2014) Some couples that lived together before marriage have a strong and healthy
relationship, while others end in divorce. Could this have anything to do with cohabitation? While living together may sound like the right idea at the
time, it does not come without risks.
Advantages of Cohabitation The time in which some couples spend living together prior to marriage can be very beneficial to their relationship. When
couples cohabitate, they are bound to spend more time together, which studies show is the number one reason couples cohabitate in the first place.
(Lomardo, 2015) In the past, many women stayed home and waited to become a housewife. In modern society, women are getting a college education,
jobs, and have lives outside of the home. This gives couples less time to spend together then in the past. Cohabitation gives couples a chance to spend
that extra time together, before and after work, instead of generic texts and phone calls. (Lomardo, 2015) Getting to

Marriage And Marriage
The society play a big role in many of our lives and we don't even notice. They judge our everyday life and choices. The one thing we judge very
hard is married couples having an affair with another person while they know. Yes some people do prefer a open relationship but the day you got
married is the day you said and vow to love and secure them forever until death. Why would you take this vow if you're just going to sleep with
another person while still being married?
There is a married couple our English teacher told us about. They have been married for 22 years right after high school, they decided that they
were meant to be forever. This couple took a vow to be together forever and love each other. Her husband was gone a lot for work and stuff so his
wife normally invited friends over for company. That then lead to her sleeping with them while her husband was gone. Her husband wasn't mad
because he was doing the same thing while he was away from his wife.
My family is Catholic and yes I have to say we aren't the perfect Catholic family around. We have our rough spots just like a typical family does,
family members have gotten divorced and shunned from the family, because we don't believe in breaking the vow you took together in the house of

The Aspects Of Marriage And Marriage
Marriage is something that should be cherished. Many people today get married just to get divorced. The situation gets even harder when a child is
brought into it. People want the best for their children and themselves, so bringing a child into a marriage that more than likely will fail is not
necessarily the way to go. The act of marriage actually means something to some people and they want to do it right. Young, poor women may have
children before marriage for stability because they cannot wait their whole lives to find a man that might never come.
Sociologists might be interested in studying childbearing and marriage because it could depend on location. Young, poor women in the rough
neighborhoods are going to have a higher rate of childbearing outside of marriage. The young women in the suburbs are more likely to have
children while in a marriage. This can come down to money. Those poor women want to have a marriage that will last, as anyone would like. A key
ingredient to a lasting marriage is financial stability. Many people know that financial stability in a marriage plays a large role in keeping people
happy and together. Obviously, money is not the main reason marriages last but it does play a part. Most of these young women who have children
and want to get married cannot, they cannot afford a wedding, or both the parents do not make enough money to support each other and a child. It is a
little different for the young women of the suburbs. Most middle–class women wait until their twenties or thirties to have children because they want to
live out their dreams of getting their dream jobs and starting a life for themselves, by themselves. Being stable in yourself is a great way to start the
next step of getting married and having children. Nobody wants to have to rely on someone else for support. If someone is not stable within
themselves and something goes wrong in the marriage, there are no means for supporting themselves after. Childbearing and marriage is an interesting
topic for sociologists to uncover because there are so many variables

Marriage, like a home, requires maintenance and the occasional minor repair. Amarriage can become static and cause a couple to feel trapped and
bored. Marriage thrives on creativity and new initiatives. The two families' can meet and the couple can talk freely in the same room. Nothing should

you feel about that? Do you have any diseases in your family that I should know of? Can we move abroad in future? I will accept a second wife. Can
you accept that? Can I continue my education? What are your expectations, Dreams, Ambitions? And don't think people will be honest about everything.

Theme Of Marriage In Pride And Marriage
Written by The Parents Jane Austen was a realistic novelist that drew inspiration from life according to her perspective and daily interactions. Realism
is a key trait that has been associated with Austen in the majority of her works. One of the principal ingredients of Sense and Sensibility is matrimony.
In fact, a broad assessment of the novel shows that the characters, plot, and different motivations and storylines are connected to marriage. Mrs. Henry
Dashwood anticipates the marriage of her daughters and is keen to ensure that they have the perfect male companions and that a mutual attraction
exists. The institution of marriage transcends beyond the two individuals in the union as it is a social matter and involved every individual that is part
of this group. In essence, the novel supports the notion that marriage is not a personal matter. In fact, one of the reasons contributing to the failure of
marriage today is that members of the community fail to acknowledge the politics of matrimony and the importance of the companionship and love
with the economic, social, and political alliance between the two families. Love is the least important ingredient in a successful marriage. The politics
of marriage has been neglected in the modern era, which maybe one of the contributing factors to the increase in the number of divorces. Austen

Marriage And Marriage
Introduction
Marriage is that relationship between a man and a woman under whose shadow alone there can be true reverence for the mystery, dignity and
sacredness of life. Scripture represents marriage not only as Mosaic ordinance and New Testament typology of the Church and Jesus Christ, the
Bridegroom, but it is also part of the scheme of creation intended for all humanity. Its sacredness goes back to the creation of man.
Right from creation, God demonstrated His interest in and value placed on the marriage institution and the family, by being practically involved in its
institution. He did not simply speak it into being as He did the beast of the field and the fowls of the air. He carefully put it together step by step.
God put man to sleep and from his side took a rib and formed the woman. Not stopping there, God took the woman by the hand and led her to Adam.
Therefore, marriage is a unique relationship, having its root in divinity (Gen 2:22).
However, marriage and family life, a thing of joy, pleasure, and high esteem at creation is now treated by many as a necessary evil and looked at by
some disdainfully. "Those in it want to rush out and those outside want to rush in," they say. This has resulted in the fast disintegration of the marriage
unit and subsequently the Family. Statistics indicate that the decline of marriage and the Family unit has been greater and more alarming in the past

Marriage And Marriage : The Rise Of Marriage
Introduction
In the past, marriage is a necessary process of life. It was very unusual for people to delay marriage or stay single for their whole life. Marriage was just
like a custom that everyone needed to follow. However, according to the research of Anderson and Payne (2016): "In the mid–1950s, the median
marriage age at first marriage was at a record low of just over 20 for women and 22 for men, but by 2014, the median age is 27.9 for women and
nearing 30 for men (p.1)". The data shows that there is an apparent late marriage tendency, which means that American people delay their marriage
about six years later than 50 years ago. There is a Chinese old saying that marriage is the tomb of love, which shows young people's hesitation and
fear of marriage. What caused this trend? Why has marriage become less attractive today? Is it a phenomenon that happened by accident or an

Stable union of the couple is a fundamental condition for a cheerful family life. Islam subsequently, demanded to have great understanding between
the partners to enjoy a successful married life with no or less chances of breaking down or separation (divorce). Furthermore Islam preaches its
followers to be at bay when it comes to divorce.
At first no marriage is contracted to be disintegrated however in awful conditions the marital contract is broken. One of the methods for such
disintegration is by method for separation. Under Muslim law the separation may happen by the demonstration of the two parties hat is Husband and
wife themselves or by an announcement of the courtroom. However in whatever way the separation is affected it has never been regarded good in Islam
and not considered as rule for life. In Islam, separation is considered as a special case to the status of marriage.
Divorce is considered as Evil and one must take extreme precautions to stay away from it as much as possible. But in a certain instances this
abhorrence turns into a need, since when it is impossible for both Husband and Wife to bear on their union with common understanding and love then it
is smoother to enable them to get isolated than urge them to live respectively in an environment of disdain and estrangement.

Marriage And Life : The Importance Of Marriage
The importance of marriage has gradually changed over the past few decades. To some people, it is surprising how many people still get married in
the decade. With the divorce rates today, it is risky to consider marrying when it is hard to know if it will last. Some may even say that life is better
now without marriage. Why get married if you can live life to the fullest with cohabitation? It is normal to live with your partner and have kids
outside of marriage. This is because the view on marriage has drastically changed. It is just less importance to some people now days. Many
choose to live a life without the title of husband and wife. This is because today there is a need to keep life private from others. Marriage is the
exact opposite of private, it is a union between two people. In this union, there is a need for absolute respect and commitment. There is no longer a
need for marriage. It has now become a social status symbol. It shows how successful one is doing in their personal life. This does not make
marriage less important, it just makes it important for other reasons. The importance of marriage can be shown by the affect it has on one's health,
wealth, and ability to raise children successfully. Marriage and health go hand in hand even more than the saying of "happy wife, happy life" (Jeff

The Birth Of Marriage And Marriage
Before marriage, girls are typically owned and controlled by their father. Men cannot own children without familial relation, that is, own child slaves or
adopt non–relatives, but they dominate matrimonial ownership, and the father's extended family is also considered responsible for the children's
well–being. It is not uncommon for children to be sent away to live with an extended relative in case of death in the family or the father's inability to
provide for the child despite the mother's desires for her children's upbringing. At the time of marriage, the rights of the father over his daughter are
transferred directly to the husband. The matrimony process typically proceeds through four basic steps of payment, ceremony, cohabitation, and
consummation. This final step implies that for a marriage to be considered valid, the woman must engage in sexual relations whether or not her body
has achieved physical maturity. Moreover, the legitimatization marriage requires an exchange of gifts and other formalities that can be seen as payment
for the bride, giving the husband sole control over his wife's fate. Indeed, most legal marriage contracts give the husband control and responsibility over
his wife. Thus for young African women, the practice of marriage is inherently about the creation and transfer of rights from father to husband, rather
than entering into an equal or voluntary union. Contracted rights in a marriage agreement include not only ability to own land or

abortion and marriages. One topic that has been of controversy and is viewed differently in many countries is marriage and whether or not arranged
marriages are better than love marriages. There are several different reasons why people in India believe that arranged marriages are the best; likewise,
people in Western countries such as the United States believe that love marriages are best. Most westerners have a misconception on arranged
marriages. An arranged marriage is a marital union where the groom and the bride are chosen by a third party, such as a mother, father, grandfather
or grandmother. Most often confused with a forced marriage, which is where the bride and groom are chosen by a third party and are forced to
marry each other or suffer the consequences. In western countries, marriages are considered "love marriages" where the bride and groom select each
other and decide to get married based on their love and affection for one another. Even though arranged marriages and love marriages greatly differ
from one another and each has advantages and disadvantages, neither one is better than the other in the long run. The primary difference between a
love marriage and an arranged marriage is the person who selects the spouse. "In an arranged marriage, parents choose a spouse for their child

Marriage The most important quality of a married couple is love. In a marriage important issues such as attitudes, responsibilities, religion, finances,
career, and whether or not to have children should be discussed so that the couple can learn each other's views regarding the issues to determine
compatibility. Building a happy marriage is the result of conscious effort on the part of a husband, and wife. A lifelong union that people bound
together by a bond of love, which is spiritual as well as physical, can be considered marriage. Marriage is socially recognized, and approved union
between individuals who give to one another with the expectation of a secure, and lasting personal relationship.

That is why you are a couple, you must learn how to work together, and help each other. Having the support and comprehension of your love one,
will make each other, and your relation ship stronger. In marriage is important to feel the support of your partner. Marriage is about two not one.
In his essay "Love and marriage" Robert Bellah wrote "But spending a lifetime together also means that one can count on one's partner. 'I guess the
big thing is that it's a permanent relationship between two people where they support each other all they way through life, working as a team.'"
(Bellah, 168) To conclude, having the experience of being married I have to say that love, communication, and responsibilities are the strongest
foundation to build a successful marriage. I knew my husband for two weeks, and now eight years later I can tell you that marriage is one of the
most beautiful things that could ever happen to me. It may be hard to find the right person to marry, but sometimes crazy, beautiful life might
surprise you and just put the right person in front your eyes. Yes, life might be complicated, but it also will be bored without complications. To get

Marriage Theory In Marriage Counseling
In Marriage Counseling: A Christian Approach to Counseling Couples Everett Worthington shares that individuals achieve meaning in life through
intimate relation–ships (with God and with humans) and through demonstrating to themselves that they can effect desired outcomes in work and
relationships (called effectance). Intimacy and effectance are exercised most fully in marriage and family life and in life in the church body. However,
intimacy and effectance are exercised in different ways at different times in the life cycle. Development theories can be described within two
categories which are the Stage and Transition theories. Stage theories gives us an idea of what happens across a long period of time. Transition theories
help us understand what hap–pens as we move from one stage to the next.Stages and Transitions; Its important to recognize that stages might not
happen as outlined and variances in ages occur. Some people may not experience every as–pect of each stage or may later learn important lessons from
previous stages after pass–ing through them. As individuals transition from singleness into relationships, marriage or cohabita–tion, they enter a stage
of experiencing many new exciting and sometimes challenging hurdles. This may happen after high school or college graduation usually around 20–25

The Importance Of Marriages In Jewish Marriage
In Jewish Religion Marriage ceremonies are major steps in not only Jewish individual's lives but also the Jewish community as a whole. Marriage is
seen as a significant part of any Jewish individual's life as it is seen as a blessing from God and that marriage was not created for simple sexual drive
but for the natural order of creation. In the Jewish community marriage is seen as a vital step that needs to be taken in order to continue with life and
once done is fulfilling the requirements of Gods wish. There are many rituals and traditions in the marriage ceremony that express Jewish adherent's
beliefs that affect the adherents and the community such as the seven blessings or the use of the Chuppah.
A very common ritual done in Jewish wedding ceremonies is the breaking of a glass object, usually a special chalice wrapped in a velvet bag or
cloth. The tradition of breaking the glass is include in all wedding ceremony as it represents the ultimate act of vowing to God and the final
commitment in the marital covenant. The idea that surrounds the shattering of the bottle is that of the bottle representing the vulnerability of human
relationships and the care that it is required to maintain the bond. Usually a male just before the end of the ceremony will place a glass object
(wrapped in a cloth or bag for safety precautions) under his foot and stomp down to crush it. There are three main interpretations as to why this is
done; one interpretation comes from a story in the Talmud, two Rabbi Men who were annoyed at participants at a wedding for being too loud and out
of control caused a scene throwing bottles below their feet to keep the others quiet and well detained. The second interpretation is that it is a
representation of the shattering of the Temple in Jerusalem and the idea that even when feeling personal joy to its greatest extent they must recall the
pain and suffering of Jewish people and remember a world of needed healing. The final main interpretation is the idea that when God creates an
individual and they are born their soul is shattered into two and they must then spend their time trying to find the other half to themselves and then join

Marriage Between Marriage And Marriage
Marriage is universal, in the sense that no matter where you go in the world there is marriage. The meaning of marriage might be different but it still
exists everywhere. Marriage would be so much healthier and happier with a marriage contract signed and agreed between both parties. Many people
commonly have a misconception of what a marriage contract really is. This type of contract involves a written document between two people, their
respective rights and obligations in regards to the marriage. This document does not necessarily mean that the marriage will last forever but it is a
commitment for both parties to hold on to in order to remain monogamous and thus preventing either spouse from having an affair. With a contract, a
schedule can be made to make the relationship run smoother during the everyday activities that usually come with a marriage. In addition, marriage is
a channel through which emotional and sexual feeling can be gratified and tension can be significantly reduced. (Landsburg) Under Islamic tradition
and law, marriage contracts called nikah agreements must include a term in which the husband gives something of value to the wife called the mahr
or sadaq. In some cases, Americans might commonly call the mahr or sadaq a bride price, a dower, a marriage gift, or a dowry. Oftentimes both
parties tend to agree that the mahr should be delayed until the couple divorces or the husband dies so that the wife 's financial interests will be protected.

Marriage And Marriage In The Motilone Culture
The Motilone culture Bruce talks about how Bobby got married and the marriage seemed very simple. Bruce talked about how Bobby told
Atacadara through a friend that he liked her. One day she moved her hammock next to Bobby's and he accepted (Olson 15). This was all it took to
signify a commitment between those to two people. Looking through a American cultures worldview this is so simple, it amazes me that for such a
big decision of committing their lives to each other all the couple had to do was move a hammock. Bruce does say that Bobby and Atacadara's
relationship was different from most of the Motilone's at the time, by saying that "it wasn't common for Motilone men to share much with their wives"
(Olson 15). For Booby's marriage I think it was a marriage not only filled with love, but with Jesus Christ at the center and that is the reason why it
was strange in the Motilone culture at that time. In the Bible there is a lot of talk about marriage. In the Old Testament marriage is seen
everywhere to show the lineage of people. Marriage in the Old Testament was also sometimes a representation of how the land of Israel was in
relationship with their God Yahweh. In Hosea, the Lord told Hosea to go and marry a whore to show how Israel was treating their God (Hosea 1:2).

Marriage is a legal union of a couple as spouses according to Cornell University of law school. Traditionally, marriage was viewed as the basis of the
family unit and very vital to the preservation of civilization and morals. However, defining marriage in the society of today can be a challenge. This is
because the marriage of today differs with what marriage was considered to be in the past. In the today's society, there are three basic elements of
marriage which include: each party must accord to the marriage, each party must have a legal ability to marry and the parties must have entered into

Cohabitation And Marriage : Marriage
Cohabitation and Marriage
Lauren Pfeifer
Dr. Richard White
Christian Marriage
16 April 2014
Cohabitation and Marriage Cohabitation is an increasingly popular relationship reality in the United States. Many individuals seek a cohabiting
relationship as preparation for marriage; however, studies have shown that this has adverse effects on relationship satisfaction and stability within
marriage. Many factors have been theorized to contribute to this effect. No matter the cause of the correlation, celibacy prior to marriage is proven to
defend a couple from the adverse effects of cohabitation. From 1965 to 1980, the percentage of couples entering first marriages who had previously
cohabited increased from 11% to 44% (Thomson 259). According to a study, "some cohabitors believed that cohabitation would improve marital
quality and stability by providing a more stringent test of the relationship than offered by traditional engagement" (Thomson 259). Despite the
prevalence of this belief, studies have proven quite the opposite. Many explanations have been given for this phenomenon. One is that those who feel
the need to cohabitate before marriage are less confident in their long term relationships than those who marry without a trial period (Thomson 259).
Another possibility is that those who cohabitate place less value on marriage and will therefore recognize divorce as an option when difficulties are
encountered. Finally, cohabitors are more likely to see

Arranged Marriage : The Role Of Marriage And Marriage
Marriage is the supposed "vow of love", that roots stem from traditional and oppressive gender roles. In the older days, men would head the
entanglement and the women followed behind, leaving substantial room for incorrect ideas of partnership to fill the couples' values. Many men and
women still marry today but, more younger generations are realizing that it is not necessary to live a successful life with your partner. With the newer
ideas of feminism circulating many women are realizing that it is not beneficial for them and is a metaphorical restraint. While some people believe it
is a beautiful kinship of love and two souls becoming one, others see it is a death sentence for autonomy and freedom.
The institution of marriage sets back thousands of years. When first originated, marriage had nothing to do with love or kinship. Families would
marry off children and young women to strengthen alliances, promote strong family ties, and even for money. It wasn't until the last few centuries that
marrying for love became popular. That even came after years of more arranged marriages with women having little say so in who their potential life
partner would be. In today's time couples wed when they're in love. With genuine love taking the precedent over dowries, very few countries allow
arranged marriages and they are frowned upon in many cultures.
Men have zero societal pressure to wed opposed to the unbearable weight of judgement women in every culture face. Women are often

Effects of marital issues When it comes to marriage it is not as easy as it may seem. There is such a high rate of divorce in the world now that it

adults. It is hard to know what it is causing your own marriage to go badly, but sometimes therapy can be a useful resource to prevent divorce and
reconnect with your partner. Married couples should be required to go to counseling and try everything they can to save the marriage before filing
for divorce. Why divorce happens is a question that gets asked everyday by many people in the world. Knowing why it happens can help solve the
problem and prevent divorce. Many therapists and other researchers have done studies to find out the leading causes of divorce. There are a couple
of different main reasons people get a divorce. One of the big reasons is financial issues. Money plays a big part in a marriage, and when one or
both partners cannot handle money well it can cause problems. It can be hard for couples to decide who handles the money and how much to spend
each month. Not having enough money to pay bills can cause arguments or blame on one person causing the relationship some stress. When a marriage
experiences consistent disagreements about money, divorce is almost guaranteed (Baker).The best way to prevent money problems is to work on

Some advantages include a better ability to negotiate their marital life and love. The women can also use love as a bargaining chip with their partner.
Disadvantages that were associated to marrying for gusto are that men can abuse ideologies of love to receive sexual activities. Just as marrying for
love has its advantages and disadvantages, so does traditional marriage. While one doesn't marry for love in a traditional marriage there is often a
higher rate or marital success and that was true for the Yucatan Maya people. The older generations love type seemed to be pragmatic. Those
marriages of the older generations where created to give structure to labor and reproduce families. They were also meant to exchange gendered labor.
The younger generations style of love would be that of mania. Throughout the article, the marriages of the younger generation were plagued by
jealousy which is an indicator of the mania love style. In conclusion, the styles of love and how people were married differed from generation to
generation in Maya families.

Marriage And Marriage With Cleotilde
In the novel, marriage is more about economic status and opportunity rather than love. Marriage is supposed to be about abundant mutual love
between two people. In this case, marriage is viewed more as an for opportunity to receive citizenship and a way to improve your of social status.
Relationships and marriage are a common theme throughout the novel.
Obinze's marriage with Cleotilde is one another example in the book of how marriage for men is viewed as a path to improving your chances of
receiving citizenship. Obinzes attempt to marry Cleotilde was a true fabrication and is not a very good example of what love actually means. When
they first met, Obinze's sense of entitlement, and superiority made in very difficult for him to treat Cleo as she deserved to be treated. A fake
marriage of convenience not for love but for the opportunity of citizenship is contrary to Obinze's morals. This causes Obinze to have a moral crisis
inside and question the path he has taken in life. Normally marriage happens when two people decide that they would rather spend time together than
apart and would find it difficult to continue without the other. In a normal relationship couples will from time to time face adversity and together
work to overcome whatever challenges they face, but the adversity faced by the couple in this novel are bigger and more complex than what other

As Mill indicates, marriage should be between two equals on all facets. He describes a true love where one is on the same level as another. Women
are at a huge disadvantage when it comes to physical aspect, however, men and women are equal in humanity. Virginia Woolf in "Shakespeare's Sister"
claims:
He was, it is well known, a wild boy who poached rabbits, perhaps shot a deer, and had, rather sooner than he should have done, to marry a woman
in the neighborhood, who bore him a child rather quicker than was right. That escapade sent him to seek his fortune in London. He had, it seemed, a
taste for the theatre; he began by holding horses at the stage door. Very soon he got work in the theatre, became a successful actor, and lived at the
hub of the universe, meeting everybody, knowing everybody, practicing his art on the boards, exercising his wits in the streets, and even getting access
to the palace of the queen. (qtd. in Woolf 844–845).

Marriage has been deteriorating in our society for some time now. If we compare today's generation to a hundred years back you can see that the term
marriage is viewed very differently. The word marriage means, "The social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as

How can we be sexually independent––and wives? How can we demand to be treated identically to men––except for the times when we don't want to

they no longer can expect marriage, stability and children when they want them, or any special respect from men. These young women try to plan
their lives from "scratch" with little thought on how to incorporate their modern day life with old institutions of marriage and motherhood. They
wish to be free, strong and independent. To find a husband who will be devoted and monogamous, interesting, to have a fulfilling jobs, and be

Both marriage and singleness have their respective benefits and challenges. Marriage and singleness are equally right and beneficial at different
times in life and according to God's plan for each individual. I was able to gather some of the specific positives and negatives, as well as some advice,

All three groups had many marriage benefits to share. Erin considers having a companion for life one of the greatest benefits. She values the teamwork
and support and jokes about a spouse being a "partner in crime." Janet echoes Erin's sentiments about companionship. She appreciates having someone
she can count on, do life with, and share her thoughts with. She also appreciates the trust developed in a marriage relationship. "I love having someone
who knows when something is bothering me without me even saying anything'" Janet shares. Steve uses the analogy of life being a road and says the

A tradition is a custom or belief that has been passed down through the generations in a culture. Since it has been passed down, its purpose could often
be forgotten or it could have been changed from the original. There are countless traditions in every culture around the world. One of these traditions is
divorce. Over the years it has become something that occurs no questions asked. However it is not possible to have divorce without marriage. Marriage
and divorce are interchangeably connected. For one is the beginning of a committed relationship and the other is the ending of one. Both, marriage
and divorce, are still practiced today. Similarly their origins are also connected to the other. To understand divorce, one must first understand where
marriage came from. Marriage is another tradition that has been around for as long as anyone can remember. However "modern divorce patterns date
back to 200 years, to the invention of the historically unprecedented idea that marriage should be based on love and mutual affection" (Coontz, par. 1).
Before that marriage would simply be a transaction or deal between families. A deal that could involve the attainment of a physical matter or to
continue the family line. That was the purpose of marriage back then. Mutual affection between people was not uncommon at the time. However most
cultures at the time thought of marrying for a fragile and selfish reason like love was irresponsible (Coontz, par. 6). As time carried on the

  • 1. Marriage And Marriage Marriage is a lifelong commitment made between men and women. People get married to have a love built family. Sociologist define marriage as "A socially recognized union between two or more people with the notion of permanence and a legal contract between two or more people that establishes certain rights and obligations" (Open Education Sociology Dictionary, 2017). Some families force their kids to marry the ones they chose so they arrange the marriage for them mostly to the girls and they do not have a choice but to obey and accept it. Others marry for a religious reason they develop a strong belief of sex before marriage is adultery and dishonouring God so they tie the knot in front of their family and friends in church or mosques or other religious places to fulfil their belief and build a family. Also families tend to have a long life expectancy if their marriage is healthy. In the research that was done by Max Planck institution for marriage and life expectancy, it shows males with younger wives would have a high life expectancy and healthy life. In this essay firstly I will be discussing how society view marriage towards females, secondly how marriage have a positive effect on children. And lastly the negative effects on women's polygamy marriage can have. In the ancient world women had no say to whom they want to marry and there was no such thing as love based relationship among them, it was all about the heiress. According to the article by Joshua J.

  • 2. Marriage And Modern Marriage Today, the idea of marriage conjures images of bashful brides beautifully draped in all white, of grandiose flower arrangements climbing towards the ceiling, of romance personified. As an institution in this modern world, marriage represents the apex of romantic love, with an entire industry of magazines, movies, and television shows devoted to perpetuating marriage as an idealized symbol of the ultimate love between two people. Contrarily, as a sociological institution, marriage comes from much more clinical and impersonal origins, contrasting with the passion surrounding modern understandings of the institution. Notably, french anthropologist Claude Levi–Strauss theorizes that the institution of marriage emerged from a need to form alliances between groups, with women functioning as the property exchanged so that such alliances could be solidified (Levi–Strauss). This function of marriage endured throughout much of human history, even transcending different cultures, so often, in plays from past centuries, marriage plots function not like a familiar Katherine Heigl romantic comedy but rather like a business deal. This disparity leaves modern audiences who grew up on these movies unable to understand the at times strange, clinical nature of marriage in plays such as Goldoni's A Servant To Two Masters. Furthermore, without this knowledge of the historical practice of marriage, audiences cannot clearly understand the dynamic between fathers and daughters like Pantaloon and ...

It is a corner stone of society and a very necessary part of the social system. It is a crucial and sacred bond between two personalities merging into one for ideas, attitudes, habits and likes and dislikes. In Philippines marriage is considered a lifelong partnership. It is the foundation stone on which the family is built. Basically marriage is a social and legal contract. People marry great number of reasons– personal or social. Usually they have a certain preconceived notions about the kind of person they would like to marry. The large percentage of separation each year, non–marital ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It plays an important role in transmitting culture and civilization to future generations. Nowadays, family is becoming just an individualistic conjugal family, not even aware of its roots. From times immemorial, Filipinos have tried to idealize and sanctify the institution of marriage as no other civil society has done so far (Diwan 2005). The concept of marriage–a sort of man–woman relationship as a responsible one–to–one unit of society–evolved a unique human family system. Its essential components were intercourse, procreation of children and living together with mutual obligations and responsibilities to the care of offspring. The traditional Filipino family was an institution, a joint family system, characterized by homogeneous togetherness of parents, grandparents, sons and daughters, their spouses, even uncles and aunts. Marriage is not merely a private contract, but a social institution of great public value and concern. Since the 1940s and 1950s, the composition of families has changed, with marriage rates declining substantially. Cherlin (2004) discusses the deinstitutionalization of marriage. Society has become more accepting of different forms of marriage and alternatives to marriage. As social science research and government surveys increasingly show, the decline in marriage since the 1960s has been accompanied by a rise in a number of serious social problems. Since the 1960s, marriage has moved from being a companionate type of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Marriage And Family : The Importance Of Marriage The animal mates, but man marries. The significance of distinction is simple and clear. Mating is biological while marriage is social and cultural. Marriage implies a ceremony, a union with social sanctions, and recognition of obligations to the community assumed by those entering this relationship. As Malinowski long ago pointed out, marriage among mankind is always in the mores. Marriage and family are two different but correlated things. Marriage may be defined as a socially sanctioned union of one or more men with one or more women with the expectation that they will play the roles of husband and wife. Marriage [is a] socially recognized and approved union between individuals, who commit to one another with the expectation of a stable and lasting intimate relationship. It begins with aceremony known as a wedding, which formally unites the marriage partners. In most contemporary industrialized societies, marriage is certified by the government. A marriage is a legally recognized union between a man and a woman in which he are united sexually; cooperate economically; and may give birth to, adopt or rear children. The union is assumed to be permanent (although in reality it may be dissolved b separation or divorce). A more simple definition has been given by David Knox that"Marriage is a social relations–hip in which two adults of the oppositesex make an emotional and legal commitment to live together".

  • 5. Marriage Vs Marriage In Hamlet Marriage is the legally recognized union of two people, whereas a relationship is merely defined as a connection between two things, or in this case, between two people (OED). In the Elizabethan age, marriage was mainly arranged for political alliances and the merging of wealth in noble families (Vasuki). While relationships refer to the meaningful connections between people,marriage was more of a tool for advancement. Shakespeare's plays demonstrate these societal conventions by organizing marriage plots fueled by political or financial gain. Likewise, the absence of romantic relationships in these plays reflects the period's cultural norm in which romantic relationships were mainly nonexistent and marriages were pursued for protection rather than love. The treatment of marriage and relationships in Hamlet is side railed by the Hamlet's revenge and bias, whereas relationships in the form of premarital sex are the primary focus of Measure for Measure. Nonetheless, this essay will analyze both of Gertrude's marriages in Hamlet to prove that they are predominantly loveless tools for kings to pursue their personal agendas. This analysis will provide a frame of reference or lens, through which this paper will outline the problematic nature of Measure for Measure's sexual relationships. First of all, the plot of Hamlet is driven by the prince of Denmark's desire for revenge, after his father was killed by his uncle, Claudius, who then marries Hamlet's mother, the Queen of ...

Not that often, so how about letting someone choose your husband or wife? That is how arranged marriages work, someone else choses your spouse for you. We are now living in a generation where we are highly influenced by what we see in the media. Cultures that practice arranged marriage are now shifting toward the Western norms of marriage. Many people are not familiar with arranged marriages and come to judge to quickly without having any knowledge on the topic. Arranged marriage is a marriage that is organized by two families for the marriage of their son or daughter, it is an old tradition that has many flaws and errors due to todays standards (Medora, Larson, Hortacsu & Dave). Several people look past these flaws and continue to practice this repetitive area of life. Arranged marriages tend to have tradition and cultural issues behind them, these marriages also fall inline with Marx' theory of social class. Lastly, arranged marriages are not the same as they once were due to the rapid growth in technology and changes in social norms. Arranges marriages have been evolving over the years and becoming less strict due to the different social values Canadians have.

  • 8. The Marriage Of Arranged Marriage For Better or for Worse My parents had a choice to marry for love, but, unfortunately, their parents did not. Imagine the world where family members or close friends chose your spouse based on their expectations. Should this be the way to go about marriage, or does this hinder a person's ability to live for themselves? In India alone, around 90% of marriages are arranged by their families (CNN). They would choose who ever they believe would best fit the person, but not necessarily love them (Queano). Although arranged marriage is a custom in many countries, is it the right thing to do? People deserve the right to choose for themselves whom they will marry. Marriage is about love and finding the right person that makes you the happiest, rather than someone who's just there for your benefit. According to Asia–Pacific Economic Blog: An arranged marriage is one where the families have pre–decided on a spouse for the child. The two people getting married often do not know each other, and have no choice in the matter. It is a highly traditional practice in many Indian and Asian cultures, and has been practiced for centuries. The debate on this issue is difficult because the views differ greatly depending on your culture. (Economic Blog ) We the people of America have the freedom to make our own decisions. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many people worldwide. These people are limited to the choices they are allowed to make. I believe marriage is a very important stage ...

  • 9. Cohabitation Between Marriage And Marriage Modern culture is constantly changing; things that were once taboo, and in some instances forbidden are now viewed as normal and are expected. One of these previously taboo ideas is cohabitation. Cohabitation is the act of living together while in a romantic relationship, prior to marriage. (Steinberg, Bornstein, Vandell, and Rook, p. 450, 2011) More and more couples are cohabitating, according to some studies approximately two –thirds of couples live together before they get married. (Luscombe, 2014) Some couples that lived together before marriage have a strong and healthy relationship, while others end in divorce. Could this have anything to do with cohabitation? While living together may sound like the right idea at the time, it does not come without risks. Advantages of Cohabitation The time in which some couples spend living together prior to marriage can be very beneficial to their relationship. When couples cohabitate, they are bound to spend more time together, which studies show is the number one reason couples cohabitate in the first place. (Lomardo, 2015) In the past, many women stayed home and waited to become a housewife. In modern society, women are getting a college education, jobs, and have lives outside of the home. This gives couples less time to spend together then in the past. Cohabitation gives couples a chance to spend that extra time together, before and after work, instead of generic texts and phone calls. (Lomardo, 2015) Getting to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Marriage And Marriage The society play a big role in many of our lives and we don't even notice. They judge our everyday life and choices. The one thing we judge very hard is married couples having an affair with another person while they know. Yes some people do prefer a open relationship but the day you got married is the day you said and vow to love and secure them forever until death. Why would you take this vow if you're just going to sleep with another person while still being married? There is a married couple our English teacher told us about. They have been married for 22 years right after high school, they decided that they were meant to be forever. This couple took a vow to be together forever and love each other. Her husband was gone a lot for work and stuff so his wife normally invited friends over for company. That then lead to her sleeping with them while her husband was gone. Her husband wasn't mad because he was doing the same thing while he was away from his wife. My family is Catholic and yes I have to say we aren't the perfect Catholic family around. We have our rough spots just like a typical family does, family members have gotten divorced and shunned from the family, because we don't believe in breaking the vow you took together in the house of God.

  • 11. The Aspects Of Marriage And Marriage Marriage is something that should be cherished. Many people today get married just to get divorced. The situation gets even harder when a child is brought into it. People want the best for their children and themselves, so bringing a child into a marriage that more than likely will fail is not necessarily the way to go. The act of marriage actually means something to some people and they want to do it right. Young, poor women may have children before marriage for stability because they cannot wait their whole lives to find a man that might never come. Sociologists might be interested in studying childbearing and marriage because it could depend on location. Young, poor women in the rough neighborhoods are going to have a higher rate of childbearing outside of marriage. The young women in the suburbs are more likely to have children while in a marriage. This can come down to money. Those poor women want to have a marriage that will last, as anyone would like. A key ingredient to a lasting marriage is financial stability. Many people know that financial stability in a marriage plays a large role in keeping people happy and together. Obviously, money is not the main reason marriages last but it does play a part. Most of these young women who have children and want to get married cannot, they cannot afford a wedding, or both the parents do not make enough money to support each other and a child. It is a little different for the young women of the suburbs. Most middle–class women wait until their twenties or thirties to have children because they want to live out their dreams of getting their dream jobs and starting a life for themselves, by themselves. Being stable in yourself is a great way to start the next step of getting married and having children. Nobody wants to have to rely on someone else for support. If someone is not stable within themselves and something goes wrong in the marriage, there are no means for supporting themselves after. Childbearing and marriage is an interesting topic for sociologists to uncover because there are so many variables Norms are different rules or actions that are generally accepted by a certain culture or group.

In the early days we may be shocked by the things that we discover about each other that had not been apparent during the heady day's engagement and marriage. Marriage, like a home, requires maintenance and the occasional minor repair. Amarriage can become static and cause a couple to feel trapped and bored. Marriage thrives on creativity and new initiatives. The two families' can meet and the couple can talk freely in the same room. Nothing should be off the table. Stop this nonsense shyness. Ask what's on your mind. Do you want children? Can you live with me and my parents? I work, how do you feel about that? Do you have any diseases in your family that I should know of? Can we move abroad in future? I will accept a second wife. Can you accept that? Can I continue my education? What are your expectations, Dreams, Ambitions? And don't think people will be honest about everything. An Iranian friend told me asking for physical tests to be conducted of both parties is normal in Iran. I think that's good.

  • 13. Theme Of Marriage In Pride And Marriage Written by The Parents Jane Austen was a realistic novelist that drew inspiration from life according to her perspective and daily interactions. Realism is a key trait that has been associated with Austen in the majority of her works. One of the principal ingredients of Sense and Sensibility is matrimony. In fact, a broad assessment of the novel shows that the characters, plot, and different motivations and storylines are connected to marriage. Mrs. Henry Dashwood anticipates the marriage of her daughters and is keen to ensure that they have the perfect male companions and that a mutual attraction exists. The institution of marriage transcends beyond the two individuals in the union as it is a social matter and involved every individual that is part of this group. In essence, the novel supports the notion that marriage is not a personal matter. In fact, one of the reasons contributing to the failure of marriage today is that members of the community fail to acknowledge the politics of matrimony and the importance of the companionship and love with the economic, social, and political alliance between the two families. Love is the least important ingredient in a successful marriage. The politics of marriage has been neglected in the modern era, which maybe one of the contributing factors to the increase in the number of divorces. Austen provides different views and perspectives on marriage through the different characters. For example, in the case of Edward Ferrars, who ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 14. Marriage And Marriage Introduction Marriage is that relationship between a man and a woman under whose shadow alone there can be true reverence for the mystery, dignity and sacredness of life. Scripture represents marriage not only as Mosaic ordinance and New Testament typology of the Church and Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom, but it is also part of the scheme of creation intended for all humanity. Its sacredness goes back to the creation of man. Right from creation, God demonstrated His interest in and value placed on the marriage institution and the family, by being practically involved in its institution. He did not simply speak it into being as He did the beast of the field and the fowls of the air. He carefully put it together step by step. God put man to sleep and from his side took a rib and formed the woman. Not stopping there, God took the woman by the hand and led her to Adam. Therefore, marriage is a unique relationship, having its root in divinity (Gen 2:22). However, marriage and family life, a thing of joy, pleasure, and high esteem at creation is now treated by many as a necessary evil and looked at by some disdainfully. "Those in it want to rush out and those outside want to rush in," they say. This has resulted in the fast disintegration of the marriage unit and subsequently the Family. Statistics indicate that the decline of marriage and the Family unit has been greater and more alarming in the past twenty–five years than during any other quarter century in history! God has a ...

However, if a young woman marry an old man, usually the old man is wealthy, and there are many old men divorced, widowers, or never married men marrying young woman. Typically two partners get married because they loves each other. The above image selected for the project shows a satirical depiction of trophy wife or gold digger. The image focuses on the couple getting married. The place looks like a church, but there are no people except the two friends from behind. There is also a marriage priest with a book on one hand and giving a speech. The man getting married, Peter Disinterested, is very venerable barren old man. He probably limps since he is holding a walking stick. His face is time worn out. On the other hand the bride, consuela, is wearing an unusual wedding dress that is showing off her thigh. Her veil is open which was supposed to be covered until priest announces. She is tall, beautiful like a fairy tale and fertile. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They both look the same age as consuela, but they have red hair, and Consuela is blond. One is saying "Consuela love Peter Disinterested..." and the other replies "oh, yes, it's true love...". Here, it creates a satirical device called faux words. Some letters from the words are substituted with currency symbols. This gives the audience a hint that she is marrying him for his money. Logically it would not make sense if Consuela, a young fertile woman, be interested in the crusty old man if it was not for his money. In addition, there is also a verbal irony when the other woman replied" oh, yes, it is true love." "Oh, yes" by it self has a different meaning informally. Women say it when they are being pleasured.

  • 16. Marriage And Marriage : The Rise Of Marriage Introduction In the past, marriage is a necessary process of life. It was very unusual for people to delay marriage or stay single for their whole life. Marriage was just like a custom that everyone needed to follow. However, according to the research of Anderson and Payne (2016): "In the mid–1950s, the median marriage age at first marriage was at a record low of just over 20 for women and 22 for men, but by 2014, the median age is 27.9 for women and nearing 30 for men (p.1)". The data shows that there is an apparent late marriage tendency, which means that American people delay their marriage about six years later than 50 years ago. There is a Chinese old saying that marriage is the tomb of love, which shows young people's hesitation and fear of marriage. What caused this trend? Why has marriage become less attractive today? Is it a phenomenon that happened by accident or an inexorable trend that is happening all over the world? Body The first reason is that as time goes by, people's minds also develop. Firstly, more and more people prefer to choose partner by themselves and have the pursuit of free love, which happened in most Asian, especially in Japan. As professor Retherford and Matsukura (2001) said: "Decline in arranged marriage and rise of love marriage make people's marriage to be later (p.87)".

It is normal to live with your partner and have kids outside of marriage. This is because the view on marriage has drastically changed. It is just less importance to some people now days. Many choose to live a life without the title of husband and wife. This is because today there is a need to keep life private from others. Marriage is the exact opposite of private, it is a union between two people. In this union, there is a need for absolute respect and commitment. There is no longer a need for marriage. It has now become a social status symbol. It shows how successful one is doing in their personal life. This does not make marriage less important, it just makes it important for other reasons. The importance of marriage can be shown by the affect it has on one's health, wealth, and ability to raise children successfully.

  • 22. The Birth Of Marriage And Marriage Before marriage, girls are typically owned and controlled by their father. Men cannot own children without familial relation, that is, own child slaves or adopt non–relatives, but they dominate matrimonial ownership, and the father's extended family is also considered responsible for the children's well–being. It is not uncommon for children to be sent away to live with an extended relative in case of death in the family or the father's inability to provide for the child despite the mother's desires for her children's upbringing. At the time of marriage, the rights of the father over his daughter are transferred directly to the husband. The matrimony process typically proceeds through four basic steps of payment, ceremony, cohabitation, and consummation. This final step implies that for a marriage to be considered valid, the woman must engage in sexual relations whether or not her body has achieved physical maturity. Moreover, the legitimatization marriage requires an exchange of gifts and other formalities that can be seen as payment for the bride, giving the husband sole control over his wife's fate. Indeed, most legal marriage contracts give the husband control and responsibility over his wife.

In the Jewish community marriage is seen as a vital step that needs to be taken in order to continue with life and once done is fulfilling the requirements of Gods wish. There are many rituals and traditions in the marriage ceremony that express Jewish adherent's beliefs that affect the adherents and the community such as the seven blessings or the use of the Chuppah. A very common ritual done in Jewish wedding ceremonies is the breaking of a glass object, usually a special chalice wrapped in a velvet bag or cloth. The tradition of breaking the glass is include in all wedding ceremony as it represents the ultimate act of vowing to God and the final commitment in the marital covenant. The idea that surrounds the shattering of the bottle is that of the bottle representing the vulnerability of human relationships and the care that it is required to maintain the bond. Usually a male just before the end of the ceremony will place a glass object (wrapped in a cloth or bag for safety precautions) under his foot and stomp down to crush it. There are three main interpretations as to why this is done; one interpretation comes from a story in the Talmud, two Rabbi Men who were annoyed at participants at a wedding for being too loud and out of control caused a scene throwing bottles below their feet to keep the others quiet and well detained. The second interpretation is that it is a representation of the shattering of the Temple in Jerusalem and the idea that even when feeling personal joy to its greatest extent they must recall the pain and suffering of Jewish people and remember a world of needed healing.

  • 27. Marriage Between Marriage And Marriage Marriage is universal, in the sense that no matter where you go in the world there is marriage. The meaning of marriage might be different but it still exists everywhere. Marriage would be so much healthier and happier with a marriage contract signed and agreed between both parties. Many people commonly have a misconception of what a marriage contract really is. This type of contract involves a written document between two people, their respective rights and obligations in regards to the marriage. This document does not necessarily mean that the marriage will last forever but it is a commitment for both parties to hold on to in order to remain monogamous and thus preventing either spouse from having an affair. With a contract, a schedule can be made to make the relationship run smoother during the everyday activities that usually come with a marriage. In addition, marriage is a channel through which emotional and sexual feeling can be gratified and tension can be significantly reduced. (Landsburg) Under Islamic tradition and law, marriage contracts called nikah agreements must include a term in which the husband gives something of value to the wife called the mahr or sadaq. In some cases, Americans might commonly call the mahr or sadaq a bride price, a dower, a marriage gift, or a dowry. Oftentimes both parties tend to agree that the mahr should be delayed until the couple divorces or the husband dies so that the wife 's financial interests will be protected. ...

This was all it took to signify a commitment between those to two people. Looking through a American cultures worldview this is so simple, it amazes me that for such a big decision of committing their lives to each other all the couple had to do was move a hammock. Bruce does say that Bobby and Atacadara's relationship was different from most of the Motilone's at the time, by saying that "it wasn't common for Motilone men to share much with their wives" (Olson 15). For Booby's marriage I think it was a marriage not only filled with love, but with Jesus Christ at the center and that is the reason why it was strange in the Motilone culture at that time.

Many individuals seek a cohabiting relationship as preparation for marriage; however, studies have shown that this has adverse effects on relationship satisfaction and stability within marriage. Many factors have been theorized to contribute to this effect. No matter the cause of the correlation, celibacy prior to marriage is proven to defend a couple from the adverse effects of cohabitation. From 1965 to 1980, the percentage of couples entering first marriages who had previously cohabited increased from 11% to 44% (Thomson 259). According to a study, "some cohabitors believed that cohabitation would improve marital quality and stability by providing a more stringent test of the relationship than offered by traditional engagement" (Thomson 259). Despite the prevalence of this belief, studies have proven quite the opposite. Many explanations have been given for this phenomenon. One is that those who feel the need to cohabitate before marriage are less confident in their long term relationships than those who marry without a trial period (Thomson 259). Another possibility is that those who cohabitate place less value on marriage and will therefore recognize divorce as an option when difficulties are encountered.

Many men and women still marry today but, more younger generations are realizing that it is not necessary to live a successful life with your partner. With the newer ideas of feminism circulating many women are realizing that it is not beneficial for them and is a metaphorical restraint.

The institution of marriage sets back thousands of years. When first originated, marriage had nothing to do with love or kinship. Families would marry off children and young women to strengthen alliances, promote strong family ties, and even for money.
