Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Marriage:
Legal Recognition:
Marriage is a legally recognized union between two people, establishing rights and obligations between them, including those related to property, inheritance, and family matters.
Ceremony:
Marriage is typically marked by a formal ceremony, often with religious or cultural significance, where vows are exchanged and a marriage certificate is signed.

Marriage confers specific legal rights and responsibilities, such as the right to inherit from one's spouse, the duty to support one's family, and the ability to file taxes jointly.

Marriage can be between two people of the same sex or opposite sex, and is a legally recognized union in many countries.
Coupleship:

Coupleship encompasses the broader dynamics and experiences of a committed romantic relationship, regardless of whether it's formalized through marriage or not.
Focus on Relationship Dynamics:

While coupleship is often a precursor to marriage, it can exist independently of it, and couples can choose to cohabit or live together without formalizing their relationship through marriage.
Examples:
Coupleship can be seen in the context of long-term relationships, cohabitation, and civil partnerships.

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus as an example and mentor
Matthew 16:24-26
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
Luke 9:23-25
23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?

Sura 22; Al Hajj (MADINA) Verse 5
O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm then out of a leech-like clot, then out a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (Our Power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much). And (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).
