INTRODUCTION
The effects of marriage are the bond that arises from the valid exchange of promises and the equal rights and duties that flow from the spouses’ new status, especially concerning the education of children. The canons describes the effects of the bond of marriage in the lives of the spouse (c. 1134), the equality of the spouses (c. 1135), and the obligations and rights of the parents.

MERELY ECCLESIASTICAL EFFECTS OF MARRAIGE
THE MARRIAGE BOND
Canon 1134 speaks of the bond that arises from a valid marriage. By this bond, the partners become husband and wife in the relationship that is marriage. The bond is such that in each partner a set of new obligations arises. The spouses, by committing themselves mutually to each other, give a new orientation to their own life.
This bond is “by its nature…..perpetual exclusive,” which recalls the properties of marriage described in canon 1056. The properties in both natural and sacramental marriages are unity and indissolubility, but those properties are made firmer in a sacramental union. Marriage, like the other sacraments, confers grace on those who receive the sacrament in a fruitful manner.
THE MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE SPOUSES
The rights and obligations are equal for each spouse in marriage. These rights and obligations include family duties as well as the rights and obligations inherent in the interpersonal relationship of the spouses and their relations with their children. All these aspects are important, and neither party is ever a “Lesser” partner in a marriage.
Nevertheless, all rights and obligations can be traced back to these essentials and to the understanding that marriage is an interpersonal, a partnership of the whole life which involves the participation and contribution of both spouse.

DUTIES OF PARENTS TOWARD CHILREN
Cannon 1136 states that, “parents have the most grave duty and the primary right to take care as best they can for physical, social, cultural, moral, and religious education of their offspring.” This canon underscores the fact that the procreative purpose of marriage is not simply fulfilled in the act of procreation, but is completed in the education of offspring.
Parents have the right and duty to provide for the education of their children. This education is to be physical, social, cultural, moral and religious. The objective of such education is that the children not only become responsible Christians, but also responsible and contributing members of society. Religious education should bring the children to an adult, mature practice and understanding of their faith.
LEGITIMACY OF CHILDREN
According to Canon 1137, the children conceived or born of a valid or putative marriage are legitimate. The code speaks only of the legitimacy of children of valid or putative marriages. This means that children conceived or born of marriages that are known to be null would be considered illegitimate. This situation of illegitimacy is true if the nullity is due to the presence of a known diriment impediment, or if it is due to a lack of canonical form. In the case of the dissolution of a marriage (cc.1142-1150), the children conceived or born of that union prior to the dissolution remain legitimate. In the case of a declaration of nullity of marriage, the children conceived or born of that union while it was considered putative (c. 1061, $3) are considered to be legitimate.
MERELY CIVIL EFFECTS OF MARRIAGE
On the other hand, effects of civil marriage is a legal term of art used to describe all of rights and obligations that individuals may be subjected and entitled to if they are in a common-law marriage, an annulled marriage, domestic partnership or a civil union.
First of all, an individual becomes excited that they will begin to share their life with someone who cares for them and whom they feel comforted by. They will feel excited to know that soon they will be starting a family of their own, and that they will become parents of their own children. Those individuals who live a stable marital relationship tend to live longer, have a better physical health, better functional health at old age and better emotional health than those in troubled marriages or who are divorced.
An adult can become stressed out on the fact that they will need to make compromises and sacrifices, in order to form a good marital relationship. The adult may develop a sense of stress because they have a lot of responsibility ahead of them.
CONCLUSION
The canons describes the effects of the bond of marriage in the lives of the spouse (c. 1134), the equality of the spouses (c. 1135), and the obligations and rights of the parents (c. 1136). Those individuals who live a stable marital relationship tend to live longer, have a better physical health, better functional health at old age and better emotional health than those in troubled marriages or who are divorced.
