Couple married in a Shinto ceremony in Japan

Marriage is a universal human institution which has formed the foundation of the family throughout history. While the traditions surrounding marriage ceremonies, the rights and obligations of marriage, the way of choosing one's marriage partner, and even who one is permitted to marry may differ from culture to culture, the essential necessity of marriage has long been recognized economically, legally, spiritually, and socially as the primary social institution for raising children. It is widely recognized that marriage provides the proper setting for cultivating love between a man and a woman, and for the fulfillment of both.

-text=The '''temperance movement''' attempted to greatly reduce the amount of [[alcohol]] consumed or even prohibit its production and consumption entirely. In predominantly [[Muslim]] countries, temperance is part of [[Islam]]. In predominantly [[Christian]] countries, forms of Christianity influenced by [[Methodism|Wesleyan]] views on [[sanctification]] have strongly supported it at times. More specifically, religious or moralistic beliefs have often been the catalyst for temperance, though secular advocates do exist. The [[Woman's Christian Temperance Union|Women's Christian Temperance Union]] is a prominent example of a religion-based temperance movement. Supporters have sometimes called for a legal ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol but in the main the movement has called for self-restraint and self-discipline.
