what is marriage for ?

Question

what is the need that boys and girls marry legally? i mean what's the reason to establish it in churches or other places and let everyone knows it ?

Answer 1

Because it is the right thing to do. It's a commitment to the other person. If you don't like the person enough to commit yourself to them for the rest of your life, then maybe you're not serious enough about each other. And for people who get divorced, it just means they did not think about the big decision hard enough, and made a mistake.

Answer 2

I am a Pastor so I will share what the bible has to say. No where in scripture was any one ever married by a ceremony.
In the O.T. a couple was married when the man took his wife (and the two shall become one flesh). By took I mean the marriage bed.
In the N.T. it was about the same but with a slight twist. A bride in a wedding is a picture of the bride of Christ, (The Church, Eph. 5 22-28). This is why all the attention is on the bride. When she comes down the isle she proclaims the seconding of Christ.
The ceremony is for the state not God. But we are commanded to obey our Gov. Many will get married in the church and when they start having problems they don't go back to the church they go to the Courts. This may end the marriage in the eyes of man but not in the eyes of God.
The ceremony is also a witness to family friend's and God that a couple have committed them selves to this union.
Time and space doesn't allow me to go any further. Hope this helped.

It originally fulfilled a very practical purpose, and still does to a certain extent. It made the succession of heirs, property rights, etc. very clear, and formally bound a couple. (Especially when women had no rights on their own, this was important.)

Some excepts from wikipedia:
Marriage of some kind is found in virtually every society. Maried people typically form a household, which is most often subsequently extended biologically, through children. Among Western cultures, the nuclear family emerged during the late medieval period. Marriage remains important as the bond that socially sanctions a sexual relationship. Children born outside of marriage have been legally known as illegitimate. Europe, the United States, and Canada have, for the most part, defined themselves as monogamous cultures. This partially stemmed from Germanic cultural traditions, Christianity, and the mandate of Roman Law.

Now it's primarily a social convention, but it's also a way in which couples choose to declare their commitment to one another. It's a public declaration that they are intending to spend the rest of their lives together and "foresake all others".

Some couples may be no less commited to one another, and may have children and a household together, but choose not to be married. However, in many areas, such a relationship is not recognized as being the same as a legal marriage. It can make things more difficult if the relationshop dissolves (in terms of child custody and property), or if one partner dies.

Answer 4

Well if you want the bibical term or understanding of it here goes.

Being single is an important time to prepare us for marriage. It can also be a time to experience a closer communion with God. As we seek God to cleanse us of the world and help us become the kind of wife or husband that would bless someone, we will soon find that we are not lonely. First, the Lord would begin using us to bless others; then we will find we are content in Him. Eventually, in God's plan and timing, He will bless us with a wonderful mate so that both lives can be a witness for Him. We believe if a marriage cannot glorify the Lord, then it would be better to remain alone. There are worse things than being alone. One of these is to be out of God's will by compromising and marrying someone who does not feel the same way we do about the Lord.

Marriage is the second major choice we make in our lives, and we should never enter into it without much prayer. To rush into a marriage can be disastrous. The most important decision of our lives, of course, is our decision to follow the Lord. This decision is not a one-time declaration, but a daily determination to follow Jesus above all. If we allow the emotional or soulish realm to dominate our lives we become more susceptible to the enemy leading us astray through someone. This area of the flesh should be brought under the Lord's subjection so that Satan does not get the advantage and consequently destroy our lives and ministries. So many have failed the Lord because they chose a man or woman over the Lord.

Our emotions need to be cleansed as they are not the sign of love. The true definition of love is "God is love." If God is not in a relationship it is not true love. What this world calls love is really lust since it is built on what the other person does for me, not what I can do for him or her. If the other person fails to keep up his end of the bargain, a divorce occurs because the offended mate is no longer pleased. This is the attitude of the world's so-called "love." God's love loves without receiving back; God's love is forgiving and patient. God's love is gentle and kind. God's love waits. God's love sacrifices.

Marriage, in a Christian's life, should be based on a decision directed by the Holy Spirit. A Christian's love for another is a commitment. Of course, the Lord will supply the emotions for the mate He sends, but that should not be the criterion for making the decision to marry. The Lord should be sought, and whatever He speaks to us we should do. He knows the future and what is best for us. If we trust Him He will not fail us in this or any other important area. Women or men who allow emotions to rule them will never be victorious Christians. Emotions should always follow, never lead.
