Orthodox Christian View

Belief on Marriage:

The Orthodox Church sees marriage as a path to holiness, unity, and spiritual growth.

View on Friendship:

Orthodox teachings often speak of marriage as a “martyria” (witness) and “askesis” (spiritual training), but also highlight mutual love and respect.

While friendship is not always emphasized as a separate concept, deep companionship is seen as essential to lasting unity.

An Orthodox Christian might say: “Marriage is about growing together into one soul friendship helps us do that.”
