Marriage is a divine institution, authorized and established by Jehovah in Eden. Marriage brings into being the family unit, the family circle. Its basic purpose was the reproducing of the members of the human family, to bring into existence more creatures of the human kind.
When you make your vows before God, he expects you and your wife to live up to them. Marriage is a permanent arrangement, 'til death'. Since God hates a divorcing, he expects you both to make your marriage work. He provided Bible principles as guidelines.

The marriage arrangement is a Gift from the Creator.This gift and blessing of marriage is also an evidence of God’s impartiality and of his justice. In that these joys of marriage, when God is in it, do not depend upon such mundane things as material wealth, a higher education, great physical strength or beauty of form and feature. Neither are marital blessings limited to any race or nationality, nor are they dependent upon any climate. Whether couples live in the polar regions or in the tropics makes no difference. The Bible gives us instructions on the marriage and divorce.Solomon wrote: “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their hard work. . . . And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn in two.” (Eccl. 4:9, 12) A marriage can be likened to a cord tying a couple together and, when we let God be in it, it is truly a ‘threefold cord not easily torn in two.’
