Marriage is a union between two people (male and female), usually based on love and commitment, that is recognized by law and culture. Marriage establishes rights and obligations between the spouses, as well as between them and their children and in-laws. Marriage is often marked by a ceremony and involves sharing a life together as a married couple. Marriage can last until death or end in separation or divorce.
Marriage is one of the oldest and most universal human institutions, evolving over thousands of years to reflect societal changes, cultural practices, and personal values. While today marriage often symbolizes love and partnership, its origins and transformations tell a story of social contracts, economic alliances, and shifting roles.
Understanding the history of marriage provides a fascinating lens into how this association has adapted to meet the needs of different societies and eras.
Marriage dates back thousands of years, with evidence suggesting it began as a practical arrangement rather than a romantic union. In ancient times, marriage was primarily a means of establishing alliances between families, tribes, or kingdoms. It helped secure resources, strengthen political ties, and ensure the continuity of family lines.
In many early societies, marriage also served to regulate reproduction, assigning parental responsibilities and legitimizing offspring within a social framework.

“The role of husband and wife is always the most important role that you will ever have in your life,”
Being good husbands and wives means date nights, getting somebody to take care of the kids and setting aside free time so that you can fill up that love tank with each other and reconnect.
Though married couples may feel guilty about spending time alone without the kids, do it anyway! Being good spouses teaches your children invaluable lessons in unconditional love, which they’ll carry throughout their lives. Our kids got used to us having a date night. It got to the point where the youngest was asking, “When is your next date night?” I think she had it marked on her calendar.

"...We should provide the facts about the importance of marriage as a matter of child welfare and economic aspiration. As a society, we have launched highly effective public education campaigns on much less momentous issues, from smoking to recycling... For now, the decline of marriage is our most ignored national crisis..." -- TIME Magazine
