There are a lot of church members who believe crap like this.
How did you get that from my argument?

Maybe in the hereafter, Heinlein's Stranger is more representative of how relations will be and our current cultural expectation for relations will be changed or done away with.

The real reason is for control and money. Perhaps societies merely created the artifice of marriage to control the delivery of offspring and its retention.
