From a modern society's logistic point of view, marriage is not a religious arrangement. It is the recognization of a contract entered into by 2 parties which will dictate myriad events in the future, especially regarding property/child/estate/healthcare/etc disputes.

Neither me nor my wife are religious, but pooling our assets together and having children together means we are now intertwined to the level that third parties may need to intervene (in the event of a dispute or death or something) and it helps sort that out more easily.
