Marriage: Marriage as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married, is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for life, for the discharge to each other and the community of the duties legally incumbent on those whose association is founded on the distinction of sex.
-Marriage is a personal relation arising out of the civil contract, to which the consent of parties capable of making it is necessary. Consent alone will not constitute marriage; it must be followed by a solemnization or by a mutual assumption of marital rights, duties or obligations.
- Marriage is the union of one man and one woman "so long as they both shall life," to the exclusion of all others by an obligation which during that time, the parties cannot of their own volition and act dissolve, but which can be dissolved only by the authority of the state.
