The role of marriage is to gain socio economic status and wealth. Catherine first married Edgar only because that would make her the best women in society. Also, she married him so he would be persuaded to make Heathcliff's condition higher, by raising him into higher society. Isabella, when she married Heathcliff, lost all her class and materialistic goods, and became sad when she realized Heathcliff didn't care for this as much, and longed for her old family again.
