Where did you see the need for marriage certificate?
The list of documents you need to send with the initial application is pretty small. You may need to collect additional documents and have it ready in case you think you have a complicated case or barely meet the physical presence requirements but that is just you preparing for any eventuality. Follow the instructions in the Application Package for Citizenship grant and you will be good.

Hi, On the check list documents asking Marriage or Divorce certificate, if you see checklist yes there are few requirements with initial application but I found on some places on the web it says that send all your education transcript, full Passport copies new and expired, if you hold other nationality those certificates your PR copy, birth certificate so just confused that should I have to send it with Application ? also the language requirement I have certificate from 2012 which shows my language score so is it work or need to send latest one? thanks for your assistance and experience, appreciated.

Just follow the checklist.
If it asks for BIOGRAPHICAL pages on your passport, it asks for biographical pages and nothing else.
There's also a list of acceptable proofs of language proficiency on the application page. See if your diploma qualifies there.

Good luck!

I encourage you to give this guide a thorough read:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html

It answers most of the questions you are asking above regarding language proof, what documents you need to sumbit, how to submit them etc.

I know, it's a longer document but it really is worth reading it in its entirety. It will save you from many surprises later!

This is the official guide. Don't stick to stuff "you read somewhere on the internet", this guide is the authority.

Am I just being a bit of a hardass wondering why this particular aspect of the application is so difficult for people to follow? I mean, it's a document list that is VERY BLACK AND WHITE. At least I think it is.
