Introduction
Marriage, this word has different meanings for different people. To some marriage means a commitment between two people in holy matrimony, or Religious marriage. To others it is just a legal contract between two people, or civil marriage. Actually, there is only one definition for a marriage. A marriage is a state of living together as husband and wife joined in wedlock, where husband is a man and wife is a woman (Andrew, 1999).
