How would you define marriage?
One definition I found is: The union of a man and a woman as husband and wife, which becomes the foundation for a home and family. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright © 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)
The Biblical story of creation give us this: Genesis 2:20-24 - 20 But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 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." 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. NIV

As it is defined in this post question.
But if one enters into it, they better understand the seriousness and minute-by-minute hr-by-hr, day-by-day HARD WORK it takes to maintain it. Don't do it because family & friends,tell you to or it's seems like the next step to take simply bsc you've known each other a while, and/or bsc of "warm fuzzies". It requires more effort and SACRAFICE than any paid employment. Don't enter into lightly. One or each person may never truly themselves (other than what perhaps GOD can see in it only in his Wisdom) feel or understand the overall reason or high percentage of feel good vibes while living in marriage. It is not the wedding day event stuff movies are made about, IT's dedicated HARD Work. I guess it's for us to grow, be obident, unconditional love, and be more to another than we receive from it. Sorry this ain't all "peachy keen", but life is the REAL Deal.
Marriage is "dying to self". Once you get married, it is no longer "me", but is now "us". You do not make plans without considering your husband/wife. I aggree with "Anonymous". After the giddiness of the honeymoon wears off, or better yet, the wedding night, you realize that it takes a lot of time and effort to keep the spark; especially when you're tired.
