Yet my married friends all fuck around, or have cheating husbands.
marriage = death

Naive? You act like I invented the idea of marriage or as if I am the first to condone it.
I am not naive, I am just mature and sensible enough to know it doesn't take a rocket scientist to have a successful marriage or relationship headed towards it. Maybe people over analyzing the whole concept of marriage is the biggest problem?
Like I said, not everyone is meant to have a monogamous relationship. Perhaps your married friends would all fuck around or cheat, even if they were just gilfriend/boyfriend still? Or maybe they settled for less than their expectations, when they got married? The reasons are unlimited, but figuring out if you are content shouldn't be that complicated.
People who completely shun marriage, want that gateway open for a better person to come along or better things in their life to happen. A legal marriage is the ultimate seal of commitment. Unmarried couples always have a way out, without needing an attorney.
A lot of marriages fail, because people think that marriage will make a relationship perfect. If it's not what you consider "perfect" before getting married, it won't be afterwards. What exactly is so hard to comprehend about that?
