Marriage is, without dispute, one of the most significant forms of personal relationships. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines marriage first as the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law and second the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage (2012).

Also, this action recognizes legitimacy as a couple, publicly recognizing society’s approbation of the personal hopes, desires and aspirations that represent loving, committed, conjugal relationships.

Comparing and Contrasting Ancient Egyptian Culture and Western Culture: “The Prince,” and “The Teaching for King Merikare.” The ancient Egyptians created a civilization that developed a culture that centered around religion and the concepts of self-enlightenment.

Ba was considered one’s soul or personality, and one needed to develop it to obtain a secure afterlife. The extreme importance of achieving Ma’at, developing a strong Ba, and living in accordance with Egyptians’ religious beliefs is clearly evident throughout the Egyptian instructional text, “The Teaching for King Merikare.” Comparing “The Teaching for King Merikare” to the renowned Western instructional text, “The Prince,” by Machiavelli, it is further evident that the ancient Egyptians valued religion and spirituality over the Western teachings to strive for worldly, materialistic achievements.
