>The point of marriage is because you've found a partner you want to commit to.

Your western centrism is showing. That's only a modern western view of marriage that commoners can get married for love. That's something that you can only do in a developed economy. Try marrying for love when you're a poor farmer and you don't know how next years harvest is going to be. For a lot of people, there are qualities besides love and attraction that are desirable in a marriage.

Marriage exists to facilitate the nuclear family, which is crucial for healthy offspring and the continuity of our species.

We marry to have kids. State-supported monogamy is the most stable for raising the next generation.

You don't have to have kids, or be able to have kids, but that is the exception, not the rule.

Marriage is for the kids.
