Bible Quotes Genesis 2:22-24 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had
taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Matthew 19:4-6 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the
Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

Hinduism Marriage in Hinduism is said to fulfill three
functions: Prajaa, Dharma, and Rati. In marriage, Prajaa is about perpetuating the family, Dharma is fulfillment of responsibilities, and Rati is companionship as friends and mutual pleasure as lovers. These three functions are given in the Dharma Shastras, books that are not considered to be religiously binding within Hinduism.

Hinduism Marriage is encouraged and living a single
celibate life is discouraged. It is because of this that arranged marriages
have been a common practice. Marriage not only brings two people together,
it also brings together two families. This is why many parents will want to have
their say.
