The Hindu community has been giving great importance for marriage since time immemorial. There are different forms of marriage -
Brahma Vivaha is where a father marries his daughter to a learned man of good moral character.
Asura Vivaha is marriage by paying bride price.
Rakshasa Vivaha is by capture or abduction without obtaining the consent of a girl or her parents.
Gandharva Vivaha is based on mutual love.
Prajapatya Vivaha is where no ceremony is performed but the groom is honoured.
Arsh Vivaha is where the groom gives a pair of cattle or bull to the bride's father before the marriage.
Daiva Vivaha is where the girl is given in marriage to a priest instead of dakshina or a gift.

When it comes to Marriage, its important to add the elements of 'Love', 'Tolerance', 'Appreciation' for a successful wedded life.
Material problem does not have a perfect and lasting solution in the material plane. We have to look for it on a higher dimension, in the spiritual plane, says ancient wisdom from Vedic literature. We, at Sacred Bonding, deeply believe in this theory & have experienced its positive value in many people’s lives. To share the benefit of this knowledge & experience with one and all, here, we present a unique site which is all about love, marriage and relationships, seen from a higher dimension. It has an array of useful articles, gives an interactive opportunity to help you become a better wife, a loving husband and a more ‘humane’ person; you can ask any nagging question you ever had, from the ‘why’s’ of a marriage to deeper soul searching queries & get answers that satisfy the soul.
