in the christian views.... marriage is...

Jesus described marriage as a relationship, a union, so intimate and real that "the two become one flesh." As persons, husband and wife are of equal value. In truth, they are one. Finally, Jesus added his emphasis on marriage being God-made and lifelong:

Have you not read, he replied, that at the beginning the Creator "made them male and female," and said, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh"? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate (Matthew 19:4–6, Mark 10:6–9).

Marriage, especially marriage between believers, is often analogized to a picture of the Trinity. Though a woman and a man are separate individuals, in Christian marriage they become joined by God as one flesh in a manner analogous to Adam and Eve, who were distinct persons though literally created from the same flesh (Genesis 2:23-25,Matthew 19:4-6, Mark 10:7-9, 1 Corinthians 6:16, Ephesians 5:30-32). The relationships — (a) in the Trinity, (b) between husband and wife, and (c) between Christ and individual believers — are analogous to each other. Each of these relationships points to the unity of individual believers and the Church with Christ and with the Father. Christian marriage is portrayed as the epitome of mutuality. Neither spouse owns her or his own body; that body belongs to the other spouse, and to them both jointly( 1 Corinthians 7:4).

All major Christian groups take marriage to be normal and proper, to be "held in honor among all" ( Hebrews 13:4). Biblically, weddings are described as times of joy.

now... marriage is between 2 of us right? does it still comprises of other people? it's the matrimony of 2 persons, it’s husband and wife, not husbands and wives!! why do they just like to interfere so much??? it's out of respect that we tell them and keep them updated of what we have done... but not for them to say this can or this cannot... these are making me going crazy.. it's my wedding and i'll do it the way i want! if not i would rather put the wedding on hold! dammnit!! i don't have so much energy for all this!!

We want to get married.. We love each other and want to begin our next chapter of life together…

According to Paul's first letter to the church at Corinth in chapter 7 which he sums up in verses 8 and 9 as:

Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion (1 Corinthians 7:8-9).

So I will continue to plan for our wedding.. but please stop treating me as though I’m invisible…

yes... i'm being grouchy and grumbling...

and i think it will continue till i settle everything... one by one...
