I did answer your previous questions, see my post. I have never seen anything written in history that the purpose of marriage is, “happiness.” Please provide me with something authoritative that says otherwise. As well, I told you about the research in other countries that shows when homosexual marriage or civil unions start, heterosexual marriage becomes meaningless.
I can't convince you that happiness is a goal of marriage, you either believe it or you don't. I must say I find your position peculiar. Shall we have a poll.
A. to obtain wealth
B. to sire children
C. Social standing
D.Happiness
