In Jewish law, a couple’s marriage becomes official when the Choson gives an object of value, traditionally a gold ring, to the Kallah. Under clear view of the two witnesses, the ring is placed on the forefinger of the Kallah’s right hand. The Choson (groom) declares to the Kallah (bride), "Behold, you are betrothed unto me with this ring, according to the law of Moses and Israel." According to Jewish law, this is the central moment of the wedding ceremony, and at this point the couple is fully
Love is defined as a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person. Faithfulness is often defined as true to one's word, promises, vows, or being loyal. In Homer’s famous story, The Odyssey, Odysseus and Penelope show their true love for one another, and how a good marriage can stay together. In “Bound by Love and Disability, and Keeping a Vow Until the End” you can take away that Edwin and Noemi love each other dearly. Marriages do not always turn out the way you want, but true love can make good things happen.
Both the Taming of the Schrew and The Odyssey handle marriage in very different ways, but both ways have their flaws. In the book, The Odyssey, Odysseus goes out on a journey that lasts him years. When making his trip home Odysseus is unfaithful to his wife Penelope who is waiting for him at home. This is a theme you never see Taming of the Shrew. In Taming of the Schrew Petruchio never cheats on his wife Katherine, but their marriage is far from perfect.

In Colombia, the traditions of marriage have changed quite a bit over time. Arranged marriages used to be very common, but as time went on, these were no longer relevant. However, those among the upper-middle and upper classes are encouraged to marry within their own class. Typically, the couple must have a chaperone during any date, and usually this goes on for about a year before the marriage. It’s also common for those in the lower class to attempt to marry out of their social class. There is a main focus on maintaining a nuclear family, which consists of a mother, father and children.

There are three distinctive parts to a Greek marriage: the engue, ekdosis, and gamos (Powers). The engue refers to the betrothal arranged by the kurioi, which are the fathers of the bride and groom (Duby 273). In this ceremony a verbal contract is made called engye. This is basically an agreement upon marriage between the groom and father of the bride. The dowry is also paid to the groom during this time. The agreement is sealed by the phrase ‘I hand over this woman to you for the ploughing of legitimate children’ (Blundell 101). Witnesses were present as proof of engue in case the legitimacy of children was ever questioned.
To legalize a marriage it must be done at the mayor's office in a city, which is rarely done. The family often has influence in the choice of a marriage partner. Typically, the women’s family look for men who will be able to provide for them, while men choose women who will wear children and keep their home. Girls are sometimes promised at a very young age, although the wedding does not take place (if at all) until after puberty. Gabonese parents do not pressurize their children to marry someone they do not like. They leave it upon the children to find someone right for them. However, they do consider the capability of the person their children selected. The Gabonese generally marry within the ethnic group but mostly outside of their village, to avoid marrying relatives. People usually get married on their 30s. Dating is looked down upon by the society, and the couples dating tend to hide their relationship from their parents.

What does it mean to be wise? Webster's Dictionary defines the word "wise" as being "marked by deep understanding, keen discerment". Through the telling of the ancient Mariner's tale, the Wedding-Guest became sadder and wiser. He became sad in that he identified himself with the shallow and self-absorbed mariner. However, the mariner changed his ways. The Wedding-Guest became wise through realizing that he himself needed to alter his ways.
The Eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus is the homeland of two distinct peoples: the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots. Their relationship is not one of a majority and minority, but one of equal partnership. The Turkish Cypriots speak Turkish, are Muslims and share the culture of their motherland, Turkey. The Greek Cypriots, on the other hand, speak Greek, are Orthodox Christians and profess the culture of their motherland Greece. After more than 300 years of Turkish rule, the island came under British influence in 1878, but sovereignty was formally transferred by Turkey to Britain in 1923. British colonial administration continued until 1960 when as a joint bi-communal state, the DRepublic of Cyprus was founded under international treaties, signed by Great Britain, Greece and Turkey, and by the leaders of both the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities in their separate capacities. The 1960 arrangements created a political partnership between the two national communities which would enable them to share power and cooperate in a bi-communal state, with the necessary checks and balances and guarantees. Unfortunately, this political partnership and the internationally sanctioned regime lasted only three years.
