I think there are two sides to this. One side is man or man-kind always wants to monetize things; thus, we have the business contract (fake) side of the marriage: fancy dress, hat, ring, etc. All of this cost money. What happens when it doesn't work out? Everything is split half and half which costs more money-everyone is making money off of your "marriage." It was always a business contract.The other side to this is more spiritual in nature. "God" marries you two. Within all of us are masculine and feminine. Empathy, Love, Compassion, etc. are feminine emotions while other emotions are masculine. Left hemisphere of the brain is masculine while the right side is feminine. So her or he reflects you outwardly. She is you and you are her. You are married to yourself. That is true marriage. Hey, just my opinion. Lol!
