Marriage is a union between a man and a woman.
Marriage is more of culture because people explore it differently based on where they are from and personal preference. Since it is also a kind of union between people, let’s call it a cultural union.
marriage, a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman, that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring (if any). The universality of marriage within different societies and cultures is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions for which it provides structure, such as sexual gratification and regulation, division of labour between the sexes, economic production and consumption, and satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status, and companionship. Perhaps its strongest function concerns procreation, the care of children and their education and socialization, and regulation of lines of descent.
he main legal function of marriage is to ensure the rights of the partners with respect to each other and to ensure the rights and define the relationships of children within a community. Marriage has historically conferred a legitimate status on the offspring, which entitled him or her to the various privileges set down by the traditions of that community, including the right of inheritance. In most societies marriage also established the permissible social relations allowed to the offspring, including the acceptable selection of future spouses.
Until the late 20th century, marriage was rarely a matter of free choice. In Western societies love between spouses came to be associated with marriage, but even in Western cultures (as the novels of writers such as Henry James and Edith Wharton attest) romantic love was not the primary motive for matrimony in most eras, and one’s marriage partner was carefully chosen.
It is a union but the society is making it turn into a culture.
marriage is both a union and culture depending on why you chose to get married because some people marry for companionship and others marry for reproduction.
In this era, marriage should be more of a union than culture. The foundation of marriage should always be love.
You are quite correct…the ancient biblical perspective of marriage was that a man would meet a woman he loves then join with her via the union of marriage..however, nowadays its just like a rite of passage in life that most people grow up are compelled to do
