The Definition of Marriage - Introductory Post

Before readers of pride and prejudice can explore the theme of marriage they must first define and understand what it is.
In my opinion there are a few different aspects to marriage, marriage is both recognised by the law and by the church.
I believe marriage is typically recognised by a few different signs and symbols.Which include: the rings, the church, the colour white and two partners and in the 19th century money and your financial state was a big part of marriage.

Another post soon with the relation of marriage in pride and prejudice
