Actually the primary reason was consolidation of wealth and assets. It also gave people rights should a marriage go awry.
Regardless of that, things change to accommodate changes. That's how the world works - we need change.
Also if marriage is so sacred to straight people, why are a lot of them breaking down? Why are there so many affairs? Why, why, why? We could be asking questions all day. I'd like some of the idiots on here to have their rights taken away for a single day. Maybe then they could appreciate all the 'whining'. It's a sad world where people have to whine to be treated as equals.
