چکیده:
It is impossible to attain an overall knowledge of marriage and the philosophy behind it، unless one adopts a general multiperspectival approach based on comparison and contrast. To shed light on marriage، this paper studies the causes، goals، and status of marriage in Islam and Christianity from a comparative approach and analyzes the results. The most important result of this comparison is that both religions consider marriage and formation of family as the sole legitimate solution for securing sexual needs، forming a decent generation، and guaranteeing love and friendship. However، Islam denies bachelorhood and cloister and، unlike Christianity، does not consider them as the means for approaching Allah. In fact، it is marriage which provides the ground for perfection and for approaching Allah.

The most important achievement of this comparison is that both religions consider marriage and family to be the only legitimate way to satisfy sexual needs, create a pure generation, and provide affection; with the fundamental difference that monasticism and celibacy hold a special position relative to marriage in Christianity; whereas in the manifest religion of Islam, celibacy and monasticism are completely rejected and, unlike Christianity, are not considered a means of proximity to God; rather, it is marriage that will be the foundation for evolution and divine proximity.
" Research Methodology ـ Definition of the problem ـ Determining the scope of comparison ـ Explaining the two poles of comparison ـ Investigating the aspects and cases of distinction and similarity between the two poles of research within the determined scope ـ Explaining the cases and positions of disagreement and agreement in the two intended poles ـ Rooting the cases of agreement and disagreement Based on this, the headings of the topics raised in this study can be classified as follows: A- Problem Statement As is evident, Islam and Christianity[1] are two prominent divine and heavenly religions, and both claim to reform and educate humanity and guide humans toward perfection and transcendence; "marriage" is also one of the factors, and perhaps the most prominent and effective factor, in leading humans toward perfection and transcendence.
474, Hadith 2) - Preservation of religion Marriage has a type of impact on ensuring immunity from deviations, distortions, and slips, and this very state provides a different position than before for the married person; it brings with it a kind of virtue, superiority, and avoidance of transgressions, and makes the individual more committed to religious and spiritual virtues and etiquettes.
