It is when two people come together and choose to do what is best for their unit over each individual. Marriage is a legal contract that two parties make with each other and there are penalties for not continuously working on the marriage like you would a garden. Weeds will come in and plants will die if you don't water the garden. Same with a marriage. Both parties must work to keep each other happy and treat each other nice regardless of what tough times they are experiencing individually. Life is no longer just about you, it is about the team. When this happens, you will know you are in a real marriage.

The point at which the friendship with your sweetheart ends and becomes a business relationship.
The point at which you stop having fun and take on responsibility for yourself and your new wife.
The end of your life as you once knew it.

Marriage is a lot like playing cards.
You start out giving a heart and a diamond, and end up wishing for a club and a spade.

1)The root cause of divorce.
2)The most successful wealth transfer scheme ever invented.
3)A contract-that if presented to you by an agent/lawyer-would
be sufficient grounds for a legal malpractice suit.
4)One sure way that the state can stay involved in your
life.FOREVER.
5)The point at which regular good sex stops...and infrequent
sex for procreation,manipulation,and/or passive-aggressive
destruction begins.
6)An institution that should be scrapped in favor of 1-3-5
year contracts...Not that you'll be any happier.

Of an age suitable for marriage, especially used to refer to a woman at the beginning of her childbearing years; nubile.
For most of recorded history in Asia, Africa, and Europe, men could be considered marriageable at 14 years and women at 12 years, although usually both parties had to be physically mature enough to consummate the marriage.
The bride is usually between 12-25 years of age, traditionally; depending on where and when the setting is, a bride 18 years of age can be seen as too young, too old, or perfectly marriageable; Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans and Ancient Hebrews, like much of Africa and South Asia today, wanted to marry their daughters off before she gave into physical temptation and had sex before she was married. Vikings, on the other hand, preferred a bride closer to age 20, in full bloom.
The groom, on the other hand, can be any age from a few years younger than the bride to roughly her age to at least a decade older than her.
Until recently, the quinceañera and sweet sixteen parties marked a young woman's entry into adulthood and marriageable age; now that so few women are married that early, both have lost some meaning and degenerated into excess.

To most people, it begins with a grand confetti-filled ceremony, but sadly, usually ends in divorce and the like.
So, taking contemporary relevance into consideration, Perhaps the most accurate definition of 'marriage' is:
"I know im crazy in love with you right now, but when these high emotions leave and it's just you and me left, I promise that I'm going to stay with you, belong to you, protect you and love you... I wont leave you or break this promise (even if you do bore me sometimes down the track)."
