marriage is expected between 18 and 21 for girls, 25and 18 for guys (unwritten expectation) and is till death do you part...and if that means he beats you to death...so be it!
Baptism is always done as a baby, preferably before a month old. If that baby should die before baptism; it will probably (by the priest's determination really) go to hell. (nice huh?)
around 3rd grade (or 7 or 8) years old is when you have your First Holy Communion...it's when they let you have a bit of wine and a wafer (holy eucharist) that they say is the TRANSMORGRAFIED (actually turned from wine and wafer) to blood and body of Christ. (no one is allowed to read a Bible in Church OR ask questions about the fact that it plainly states Jesus said ....'do this in MEMORY of me'. )
They preverted the 10 commandments from the Bible. The OMITTED the 2nd commandment about worshiping idols, moved the 3rd into second place (and so on) and halved the last commandment into "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods" and "Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's wife" When in scripture, it plainly states in the 10th commandment as one.
The priests aren't allowed to get married. (Further twisting the bible) Basically, a man who gets married tends to try to please his wife first, and not God. It doesn't mean a man who gets married CAN'T please God first.

We believe that once you marry, it's forever. No divorce. But there are some exceptions. If the spouse dies, you can remarry. Also, in some rare occasions they allow the separations. My aunt's ex-husband beat her and her children. He was a drunken idiot. They allowed her to leave him.
We also have seven sacraments instead of two. Baptism, Reconcilation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders.

+ Marriage +
The Catholic Church believes that God himself is the author of marriage and has created it for one man and one woman.
The spouses of a valid marriage:
• Create a bond, which by its very nature is perpetual and exclusive.
• Are strengthened and consecrated for the duties and the dignity of their state.
• Are sealed by God himself in their consent to mutually give and receive one another.
• Form a covenant that is integrated into God's covenant with man: "Authentic married love is caught up into divine love."
• Have their own special grace that:
. • Perfects the couple's love.
. • Strengthens their unity.
. • Helps one another to attain holiness in their married life.
. • Helps in welcoming and educating their children.

+ Baptism +
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
Baptism is performed in the most expressive way by triple immersion in the baptismal water. However, from ancient times it has also been able to be conferred by pouring the water three times over the candidate's head.
In accordance to the command of Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19-20:
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
Catholics baptize using the words, "[Name], I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
The Catholic Church accepts any baptism from other Christian Church if it was done in this manner.
It has been argued by people smarter than me that not only was there not enough fresh water to baptize three thousand people in Jerusalem but there would not have been enough time to baptize all of them by full immersion in one day even though they started in the morning.
Could these have been baptized by pouring or even sprinkling water over them?

Try Googling EWTN or Catholic Answers. They're both good sites.
