Many people got married without a big ceremony. Pretty much all they did was say "I am yours" and then lived together and everyone in the city considered them to be married. In today's world, weddings are a really big thing. That is the day that most girls can't wait for. Most people got married very young. Some as young as 12 years old! Can you imagine getting married right now? Crazy right? That’s like starting off your 7Th grade or even your 6Th grade year… married. Today, you would normally wait until you're at least 20 years old to get married.
Most marriages only lasted for about a few years because a spouse normally died. So, it was common for people to marry more than one time. The Christian Church did not allow men and women to get a divorce. However, they did allow men and women to separate. Today, unfortunately, divorce and separation are pretty common.
