The importance of marriage has been questioned from time to time. Marriage takes continuous effort and is more than rings, vows and celebrations. Marriage provides stability and a sense of belonging.

- Marriage is a beginning of a new chapter and many new relationships.
- It is a beginning of a family, your family.
- More than physical union, marriage is about emotional and mental support.
- It gives you a partner for life who will be beside you through good and bad.
- It gives you a person who would be there with you through your life struggles.
- Marriage teaches you that you can cherish love forever. A long-time commitment that can give you a chance to grow better with someone you love every day.
