Is marriage a gamble or some kind of covenant?

It's NOT a gamble. It is 100% not a gamble unless you do it like 99% of people do it. And that is why you will find that 99% of people will say it is a gamble. I assure you though, it's not unless you are out there just winging it. But most people are just winging it. Not their faults. They have never been taught any better.

It's a gamble because half of marriages in the USA and in divorce. So your odds are 50/50 that the marriage will last long term according to data and statistics.

I would say it's a gamble. It can be wonderful (even with some issues along the way) or it can be a disaster.

It is a Covenant according to Bible as Union in one Flesh as is Jesus the Christ and His bride the Saved Church. And we are to leave father and mother to become one.

It's a gamble that she'll wander off and do some other guy. That's mostly what happens. Or she shuts down.

Definitely a gamble, especially for men.

Both. Neither. Depends on a lot.
