The benefits of Marriage
Marriage is the formation of a beautiful partnership which promotes the transformation of an incomplete human being to a complete one. It allows him/her to mature and grow up and delegates a whole new range of responsibilities to there life. Marriage is supposed to take a person out of a hectic unstructured life to a more structured one, allowing them to follow a path, have goals and aims in life which two people can work together on and have a shoulder to lean on in times of hardship.
The Quran calls man and woman as the dress of each other.
"They (wives) are as a dress for you (husbands) and you are as a dress for them"
Surah Baqara v187
That is to say, they are the completive, counterpart, and the guard of each other's honour and secrets, and each one needs the other. Man can not live honourably and eminently in society without dress. He feels himself in a state of imperfectness. The lonely person too feels himself imperfect.
Dress saves and protects a person from the effects of winter and summer. The spouse too saves one from worries, futility, shelterlessness, aimlessness and solitude similarly. Dress decorates man, spouses too are the decoration of each other
