It is my opinion that the institute of marriage will be obsolete in the next 100 years. Sad but true.
I feel that today marriage is often nothing more than a legal contract and is increasingly becoming disconnected from what a loving relationship is. This is not even a modern thing but has been the case throughout the history of mankind where marriages have been based on political alliances, ability to provide or other factors that have nothing to do with love. Look at some of the great love stories told and think about how many of those couples were married. Romeo and Juliet is a great example where the couple is in love but has no path to get married. If they did not die at the end of the play they probably would have ended up in unhappy marriages with other people in the sequel
