He only agrees to marry them because he thinks it will end the family tension. “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be; / For this alliance may be so happy prove / To turn your households’ rancor to pure love” (II.iii.90-92).
How could a measly feeling like love possibly hurt someone’s life? The characters in the dramatic play Romeo and Juliet commit outrageous acts that ultimately ruin their lives, all in the name of love. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, impulsive passionate love leads to tragedy, which proves that love can drastically and negatively destroy people’s lives. In the play, Romeo and Juliet’s secret love for each other causes suffering and death in each other as the lives of characters careen out of control in unexpected ways.
Friar Lawrence didn’t want to marry Romeo and Juliet, he knew they were rushing the marriage, but he married them anyway to try and stop the feud between the Capulets and Montagues. Romeo and Juliet rushed into their marriage and because of that there were many consequences after. One consequence is when Friar
He was the one who married the two, hoping that the marriage would cause an end to the feuding. Romeo and Juliet getting married was banned and wouldn't be able to take place without Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence stupidly chose to marry Romeo and Juliet even though he knew that it would cause issues in the future. The Friar says in the beginning of the story "this alliance may so happy prove To turn your households' rancor to pure love." (II iv 91-92) This shows that the Friar has doubts and only has a small bit of hope that Romeo and Juliet's marriage will actually be successful.
As they arrange a marriage behind everyone’s back, everything seems to be testing them; including a fight that broke out and ended in Tybalt’s murder and Romeo being banished from his hometown, Verona. Juliet could not go without being with her love, Romeo, and quickly had to find a way to be with him before her other marriage that her father arranged for her took place. As the friar arranges a plan for the two star-crossed lovers to reunite, things don’t work out the way they’re supposed to and end in the deaths of both characters. In Shakespeare’s, “Romeo and Juliet” Friar Laurence is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because he is devious and has a poor planning ability.
When Romeo first comes to talk to Friar Lawrence about marrying Juliet, Friar Lawrence is hesitant to perform the ceremony. He thinks that Romeo is moving too quickly, and that Romeo should not get married to a person he has just met. Despite his doubts though, he marries Romeo and Juliet behind their parent’s backs in the hopes that a marriage between the two families will end the feud. Friar Lawrence does not take into account how this will affect Romeo and Juliet. He even predicts that “These violent delights have violent ends,” meaning that he thinks that their love will end badly because it began so
The reason that this marriage was so bad was because Romeo and Juliet were both very young to get married and Romeo was not very mature. Secondly, the friar regrets marrying the two and says, "These violent delights have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and powder" (Act II Scene VI lines 9-10). This quote proves why this was a bad decision to marry the
Friar Laurence contributes to the events that leads to the lover’s deaths when he agrees to marry them after being angry at Romeo for loving the daughter of Capulet. FRIAR LAURENCE: “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be;/ For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancor to pure love.” (2.3.98-100) As a result of Friar Laurence’s decision to marry the two, Romeo and Juliet’s fate is sealed.

Friar Laurence had both reasons and doubts in marrying Romeo and Juliet. Right before he marries them at the end of Act II, the Friar exclaims “So smile the heavens upon this holy act That after-hours with sorrow chide us not,” (II.vi.1-2). Here, Friar Laurence is asking heaven to bless Romeo and Juliet’s marriage so that there will be nothing of consequence come after it. He asks for this blessing
The quote shown helps it to be seen that Romeo and Juliet going after each other is causing them to make not good decisions. You can see the constant atrocious decision-making, from the past two to the next. Romeo and Juliet continue to make lousy decisions such as them officially getting married. Friar Lawrence speaks to Romeo and Juliet about being “incorporate two in one” before he leaves them “shall not stay alone.” (Shakespeare 2.6.35)
Friar Lawrence finds out about Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other, but does not tell the two families about this.

However, if the families disapproved of Romeo and
Friar Laurence shows this throughout the play, through his plan, he puts two teenagers at stake for the better of the community’s future, and to show himself as a hero of the town. He wants to be remembered as the person who saved Verona from the war between the two families. When Friar Laurence is talking to Romeo about the marriage with Juliet, he says, “For this alliance may so happy prove/To turn your households’ rancor to pure love”(II.iii.91-92). He is claiming that this marriage between Romeo and Juliet could bring the Montagues and the Capulets together. He is starting to show how he would like to marry them for the peace that could show up between the families.
She barely contemplates its negative outcomes, driven only by her incentive to support Juliet. Incautiously permitting the marriage, the Nurse further buries Romeo and Juliet into the impulsive romance that leads to their deaths. The Friar reveals his hastiness when planning the marriage with Romeo: “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be; For this alliance may to happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancor to pure love” (2.3.90-92).

Romeo and Juliet want to get married so Romeo goes to Friar Laurence. “Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set on the fair daughter of the rich Capulet (2.3.57-58).” Romeo and Juliet love each other a lot so they choose to get married without thinking of the consequences. Even some of the smarter people in Verona make huge mistakes. Even the friar who gives the advice doesn't think before he makes his decision.
