The institution of marriage is both sacred, universal and eternal. In the book of Genesis 2:18 God decided to make a help Mate for Adam and further commanded that a Man must cleave unto his wife in order to become one flesh, as recorded in Genesis 2:24, and Ephesians 5:31-33.

Perhaps, you could add for life, as we have seen from the series of marriage vows which were always read out to intending couples.

However, life itself is challenging and comes with difficult situations which some times explain why many marriages crash before they even start. A sorry tale of our present and unfolding generation. I once listened to a narrative where a couple said in over 60 years of marriage they never had hiccups or a course to engage In any physical battle. In fact, the husband restated this position and also, told how for those years, he was a refuge and rock for his wife.
