Most Christian authorities and bodies view marriage (also called Holy Matrimony) as a state instituted and ordained by God for the lifelong relationship between one man as husband and one woman as wife. They consider it the most intimate of human relationships, a gift from God, and a sacred institution.[1] Protestants consider it to be sacred, holy, and even central to the community of faith,[2] while Catholics[3] and Eastern Orthodox Christians[4] consider it a Sacrament. Biblically, it is to be "held in honour among all…."[Heb. 13:4]
Jesus maintained the importance and sacredness of lifelong marriage in his own teachings. He quoted from both Genesis 1 and 2, stating in Matthew 19:3-6 that God had created humanity as male and female,[Genesis 1:27] and that in marriage "'the two will become one flesh'.[Genesis 2:24] So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate".
In most states with a traditionally majority Christian population, civil laws recognize marriage as having social and political statuses. Christian theology affirms the secular status of marriage, but additionally views it from a moral and religious perspective that transcends all social interests.

Christian marriage is quite interesting.Because they will be wearing an Angel dress.While marrying they used to exchange rings.Some only exchange rings and some exchange rings and marriage chain(thali-twisted rope) will be worn some may not wear that.They most faithfully believe in LORD JESUS CHRIST.Before exchanging the rings they used to tell the promising words.And all the people who gather there for marriage,will bless the couples.Father used to pray for the couples for their happy life.
