There are as many different expectations in marriage as there are married couples. It isn't simply a matter of what religious doctrine demands in a book. == == The Bible refers to a Christian's relationship as a bride and groom so the fundamental part is that marriage is meant to be. God also created a woman in order to complete man so that also supports the marriage part. So goes the saying, "God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve"
: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. -- 1 Corinthians 7:1-2. : For I would that all men were even as I myself.... I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. -- 1 Corinthians 7:7-9.
: Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. -- 1 Corinthians 7:27 : But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none. -- 1 Corinthians 7:29
There is no universal agreement among Christians about any aspect of marriage.
The rite of marriage teaches Christians that it's more than just a bond of a relationship or a celebration, but a ritualized promise to God.
As Christians they want to acknowledge their faith and to seek the blessing of God upon their future life together. They also make their vows before God, as He is the one they see as the author of marriage. They want to acknowledge who they are and have the blessing of God upon their marriage.
