The custom of a man going out into the world to court, then marry often a person who starts out as a stranger rather than someone he grew up with, is a recent development of the modern age. And only in the modern West.
Prior to the 1900s, the majority of marriages would be prearranged in some way, either via cultural custom or social pressure.

Certainly getting much rarer these days, survives more for the sake of having a huge "special day" and party than anything else. The stigma of having a child born out of wedlock that still existed in the early 1980's when my son was born has entirely vanished here in the UK. The word "partner" has replaced husband and wife as the expected title used in all public life.

Marriage as a term is just a union of something with something. The contractual aspect behind couples marriage is the fallacy. Its so the state can turn it into another industrial complex.
It is for assholes who want attention and fit into the projected "norm" of society.
The big problem is the B R E E D E R, who breed married or not. Assholes!

Only if it doesn’t appeal to you but some people’s reaction against other people’s marriages can often verge upon the psychotic.

It's become largely irrelevant, in the West anyway. Once women were able to be economically independent much of the point of it was lost.

Heterosexual marriage serves a purpose for children. Same-sex marriage is a regressive concept which never should have been invented. So yeah, gay marriage is outdated even if "new".

By the time my husband had his second heart attack in 2016, the cardiac unit at the hospital where he'd received care for his first one in '08 had been closed, leaving our only option a local Catholic hospital. Our marriage guaranteed me the legal right to ICU visits, all information about his condition and participation in treatment decisions. Without those legal protections, hospital administers could have made an issue of it, leaving all such matters to one of his sisters as next-of-kin, who could have excluded me from all such matters if they chose to. That would have been regressive. Since his death in January of this year, the survivor benefits from his SS have allowed me to remain in the home we purchased together 16 years ago. So, our marriage was - and remains - anything but "outdated" to me. For the record, we viewed marriage as simply the wisest business decision for us. As a so-called institution, it never meant anything to us from any sort of cultural standpoint.

You should be able to receive your partner's SS benefits just as a heterosexual partner would.
I just don't like being merged into a heteronormative institution. I would like civil unions to be available for us which protect our rights as couples. But the LGBT movement opposes civil unions and demands marriage.

Its no coincidence that as religiosity has declined over the decades, so has marriage initiation and duration. Look at places in the world where religiosity is high and you will find the opposite.
