Roman Catholic Answer.

Marriage is one of the seven sacraments that God has given us in which He communicates grace to us, in order to be saved. St. Paul, himself, says that marriage is a great good, and God established it from the beginning with Adam and Eve.1602 Sacred Scripture begins with the creation of man and woman in the likeness and image of God and concludes with a vision of the "wedding feast of the Lamb." (Rev 19:7, 9; cf. Gen 1:26:27) . . .

1603 "The intimate community of life and love which constitutes the married state has been established by the Creator and endowed by him with it own proper laws . . . God himself is the author of marriage." (Gaudium et spes 48, section1) The vocation to marriage is written in the very nature of man and woman as they came from the hand of the Creator. Marriage is not a purely institution despite the many variations it may have undergone through the centuries in different cultures, social structures, and spiritual attitudes. These differences should not cause us to forget its common and permanent characteristics. Although the dignity of this institution is not transparent everywhere with the same clarity, (Cf. Gaudium et spes 47, section 2) some sense of the greatness of the matrimonial union exists in all cultures. "The well-being of the individual person and of both human and Christian society is closely bound up with the healthy state of conjugal and family life." (Gaudium et spes 47, section 1)

Answer 2

The Catholic Church possesses the authority to determine who, how and when Catholics can marry within the Church. Marriage is a sacrament governed by canon law and it is for life. To be recognized by the Catholic Church a couple must be married according to Church law. A Catholic who marries outside the Church commits a sin and the marriage is not recognized by the Church. That makes them unable to receive the other Church sacraments while they remain in the state of sin.

It should be noted that in the United States marriage is a civil legal status and clergy, among many other minor and major officials including any person who obtains a one day permit, are allowed to solemnize the marriage or perform the ceremony. The couple must obtain a civil marriage license or the marriage is not valid. The officiant must sign the license and return it to the issuing civil authority. A marriage performed by a priest without a civil marriage license would not be recognized under civil law.

Answer 3

Catholics get married for the same reason any other person in any other religion gets married.

Answer 4

Because their faith demands it.
