Webster's 1828 - marriage: The legal union of a man and woman for life. Marriage is a contract both civil and religious, by which the parties engage to live together in mutual affection and fidelity till death shall separate them. Marriage was instituted by God himself for the purpose of preventing the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes, for promoting domestic felicity, and for securing the maintenance and education of children.
Webster's 20th century - marriage: The legal relationship into which a man and a woman enter for the purpose of making a home and usually raising a family.
