Marriage also called matrimony or wedlock is a social, and legal contract between two individuals that unites their lives legally, economically, and emotionally. It is a symbol of commitment of one person to the other person beyond the boundaries of a regular relationship. Meaning regardless of what is about to follow (obviously there are extreme exceptions) you fully commit yourself to that person and will always stand by their side.

A happy marriage is about three things: Memories of togetherness, forgiveness of mistakes and a promise of never give up on each other.

You’re going to spend the rest of your life learning about each other, and every now and then, things blow up. But the beauty of marriage is that if you picked the right person and you both love each other, you’ll alway figure out a way to get through it.”

No relationship is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella and survive the storm together.

If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.
F. Burton Howard, Eternal Marriage

A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.

Even good marriages fail. You’re standing on solid ground and the next minute…. There’s always two version. Yours and theirs. Both versions start the same way though. Both start with two people falling in love. You think yours is the one that’s going to make it and so it always comes as a shock the moment you realize it’s over. One minute you’re standing on solid ground, the next mintue you’re not. …
Do you have what it takes? If your marriage is in trouble, caan you weather the storm when the ground gives away and your world collapses? Maybe you just need to have faith and trust that you can survive this together. Maybe you just need to hold on tight and no matter what, don’t let go.
Meredith Grey (Season 8, Ep.1-Free Falling)

MARRIAGE IS A THOUSAND LITTLE THINGS. It’s giving up your right to be right in the heat of an argument. It’s forgiving another when they let you down. It’s loving someone enough to step down so they can shine. It’s friendship. It’s being a cheerleader and trusted confidant. It’s a place of forgiveness that welcomes one home, and arms they can run to in the midst of a storm. It’s grace.It’s giving of yourself tirelessly down paths you’d never imagine to travel. Through sickness and pain, poverty and loss, it’s carrying the weight of another. It’s being the smile they see in the morning, and the body they hold close at night. It’s pure love. It’s standing together in the face of adversity. It’s riding alongside each other in a battle that threatens to tear down your marriage and seeks to grab hold of your faith. It’s strength under pressure. It’s endless compassion. It’s love.
Darlene Schacht
