Why do we marry?

We are to resemble God
“And he answered and said to them,
‘Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female,’ and said, ‘for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?’
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not a man separate.”
— Matthew 19:4-6

LIVING FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS
“…Hence, true love, as well as true ideal, true peace and true happiness, can only be achieved by living for the sake of others; They cannot be found in any other case.
Until now, human beings have not known that this is a fundamental law of the creation of the universe.”
— Rev. Sun Myung Moon
LIVING FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS
“What is an ideal family?
An ideal family is a place where a God-centered eternal parental love; eternal conjugal love; and eternal filial love can be found. When the father is pleased, the whole family is pleased; when the mother is pleased, the whole family is pleased; and even the child is pleased, again the whole family is pleased. The family is where the universe can experience joy simultaneously.”
— Rev. Sun Myung Moon
LIVING FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS
“You can build peace, happiness and harmony in an ideal family. That family is the model to build the ideal kingdom in the world. So how can we create the family of harmony and peace?
We do it when we live for others, when we live for the greater purpose, investing of ourselves and forgetting what we have given, and giving even more.” — Rev. Sun Myung Moon
