What are the ideals of marriage for Jehovah's Witnesses?

Marriage is regarded as a sacred arrangement that should be honoured. The bible encourages individuals not to get married too young and to enter into it seriously as a lifelong arrangment that can only be left if one of the parties commits adultery. Outside of that, if a separation is necessary due to threats to personal safety or other circumstances, the innocent party is not free to marry unless or until their partner commits adultery or dies. 

Jehovah's Witnesses look to God's Word the bible for advice as to the principle of headship and submission and attempt to build loving, warm relationships which benefits both the partners (and children) and brings honour to the Creator.
