Marriage shouldn't be necessity but open choice & only then it will be honored with its true purpose.
Marriage is all about absolute submission to one-another.
It's the promise of commitment from the one who truly & purely in love with the another with all their heart & soul.
You can't demand or force Marriage out of somebody, it should be given voluntary as a matter of fact.
Marriage is a act of giving all of oneself (from the one who knows and loves their trueself) to another not to prove or to satisfy society's rules but just to show pure devotion towards him/her that I belong to you from body,mind & soul. I give myself to you as a mark of my true devotion to you because I see my own soul reflecting back through you.
To mark their unbreakable vow-'now onwards all of me devoted to all of you', they make their Gods, Nature, Universe, whatever one believes in as a witness in a ceremony.
Marriage is the union of two souls who comes together to achieve higher purpose. It's the union of two equals who sees the 'absolute' in one-another & hence achieve the tranquility together.
Originally,marriage should have been rarest of rare occasion contrary to what we witness almost everyday.
