yeah, Marriage is a command, and it's very important to do so; because it brings respect to 2 both, whn once u get married, God will remember His promise 2ward u, 2 make u a fruitful woman. (family)
Infact go to Gen. 2:18 u'l know more about this call marriage.

Love is not the essence of marriage but FRIENDSHIP. When love dies friendship keeps the marriage going.

it is not a command but it is ordain by God.Saint paul said that is better for a man to be alone so that he can hv an undivided intention and service to God while God said it is not good for man to be alone.for me , l will follow what God said. what Paul said is truth but l believe if one get the right partner for marriage it will even strength your relationship with God.

apart for what the bible says that we shld be friutful and multiply. the essence of marriage is to spend a life time with the one u love and are most compatible with in most things. someone that u just want to be with and then having kids and building a life together comes in  |

what do u mean by "The Essence of Marriage"?
The topic is so large, you need to write a book if you want to annalyse it completely.
People go into marriage for a lot of reasons:
wealth,
companiorship,
contract,
convenience,
procreation,
protection,
happiness,
social reasons,
politics,
biblical injunctions,
compulsion, you name it.
If I have to pick the reasons stated above and some other ones, its going to come out really big, I don't like voluminous posts.
For me marriage is a contract, because you see young people live together for a long time but they don't see that as being married until they sign those godamn papers! only to end up getting divorced.
I don't see marriage as a do or die affair, but for me its something very sacred, it seals destiny. people need to do a lot of thinking before settling down but if the guy or babe is longer into you, get out, fast! that's my opinion.

Well, i am a good catholic (i think) ha! But anyways, i have always said i Will not get married or have kids but then i met my boyfriend and i loved him so much that when i go to church, i ask God that if he is mine then so be it. Then we got married, i prayed for a baby and we had one and all i can say is that i enjoy being married, still love him loads and our daughter and i wouldn't change a thing. My main reason then i would say is love but then a whole lot of other packages came with it, all GOOOOOD.
