In spite of the fact that its measurements and substance have changed during mankind's history, the establishments of family and marriage have kept up their comprehensiveness are as yet the center unit of social orders (Özgüven, 2001). In numerous social orders, marriage is recognized as the establishment in which closeness and cooperation exists and furthermore kids are brought up in wellbeing and that permits people to have sex and gives an enthusiastic advancement opportunity (Yavuzer, 2012).

This requirement for personal growth constrained people to head out to different towns or abroad creating significant distance relationships.
