Well, I'm not sure if the Christians took "Marriage" from the pagans or not, but Marriage as in the idea of it (I.E. Forever together.) does date back to the old world, long before Christianity, where two tribes would contractually marry two people to ally both tribes.
This was before the Dark Ages, The Crusades, The Roman empire and the rise of Christianity, possibly before religions ever even existed.
