Marriage is the highest form of social engineering, it is an observed fact that it is the primary driver of the civilizing process in human history.

Its absence and the resultant breakdown is being observed in real-time, it should be no surprise that the degradation of society from its absence takes a long time to be felt and it will take a long time to repair this error.

It's not social engineering, it's biology; many animals mate for life too.

  • Big difference between mating and marriage. Lot of marriage where mating is not happening but couples cannot separate because of social/legal/emotional ramifications.
