Your point about reproduction is interesting, and while it's true that not all couples can or want to have children, marriage historically has been linked to procreation and societal stability. However, in recent times, marriage has evolved to mean more than just a means for reproduction. It's also about companionship, emotional support, and mutual respect.

Our actions are not solely driven by instincts but also by our norms, beliefs, and laws.

That said, how would you reconcile the traditional definition of marriage with the evolving societal understanding of it?
