ABSTRACT
The best way to identify a phenomenon is a comprehensive study and reviewing it, in various perspectives. Comprehensive study and understanding the concept of marriage is not possible without comparison and contrast. One of the most important aspects of this study is the comparison of the marriage in the Islam and Catholicism. So, the study, reviews the concept of marriage in Islam and Catholicism, and then compares them.
The main achievement of this study is that both of these religions believe that the only legitimate way to satisfy the sexual needs, make new generation and gaining love is the marriage. But there is a fundamental differences between these two religions. Monasticism and celibacy in the Catholicism has a special position. Catholics considers celibacy as the means for being near to God, but in Islam celibacy is completely rejected. Not only the marriage does not block the way to being near to the God, but also it can be the mean to reach the God.
