You can substitute it for Oregano. It has a mellower taste but they are similar in flavor.
Marjoram should only be used instead of Oregano in very strongly flavored savory dishes such as meat dishes. In dishes with a more subtle flavor, such as tomato-based preparations, Marjoram will almost certainly not be a suitable replacement for Oregano.
Marjoram is rumored for various health benefits, but there appears to be little scientific evidence to support this claim.

Wild marjoram is known as orégano in Spanish.
Marjoram the spice comes from the species Origanum majorana. This plant often goes by the names "Sweet Marjoram," and "Knotted Marjoram."I believe that the spice is traditionally derived only from the leaves of the herb.

The sweet-spicy smell of Marjoram is said to be created by Aphrodite as a symbol for luck.
marjoram = sweet marjoram = knot marjoram = knotted marjoram Pronunciation: MAR-jer-um Notes: Marjoram is sweeter and milder than its close relative, oregano. It's often used to season meats and fish, and works best when its added near the end of the cooking period. Fresh is best, but frozen or dried marjoram are acceptable substitutes. Don't confuse this with wild marjoram, which is better known as oregano. Equivalents: 1 tablespoon fresh = 1 teaspoon dried. Substitutes: oregano (This is very similar, but not as sweet and mild as marjoram. Substitute two parts of oregano for three parts of marjoram.) OR thyme OR sage OR basil OR summer savoryFrom this website: http://www.foodsubs.com/HerbsEur.htmlI have used oregano for marjoram as recommended by this site in the ratio specified and had good results. Good luck!
