How important is it that people should marry and remain living together permanently?

(These are just a few aspects.)
AnswerIt always depends on the living conditions.You can answer this question by answering the following two questions:
What would happen if people had to marry and divorce wasn't possible?
What would happen if people couldn't marry?
AnswerMarriage has two functions:1. It proves your partner's love and commitment to you
unless he could have some other motive (money, position, house cleaning etc)
This is of course only important if you doubt his love or his commitment.
2. It induces people to stay together even when they'd normally split.
That can be good or bad, depending on their character and the situation.
AnswerWell, let's look at the different possibilities and the consequences to find out:Case 1: People don't marry.
Since there's no legal bond, they stay together only for as long as both want to,
ranging from a one-night-stand to a lifetime (or what's left of it).
This means generally shorter relationships and no compulsion
to stay with a partner you've realized is wrong for you.
Women are usually more interested in long-term relationships than men,
so some men pretend to be interested in a long-term relationship just to get sex.
This means more deception and more emotional suffering by women.
It's also possible to have no partner or multiple partners.
The biggest drawbacks for an unmarried couple are that they can't have a common name
and that they don't get legal benefits provided for married couples,
like tax reductions or the right to refuse to give evidence in court.
Case 2: People marry but get a divorce if they don't want to live together anymore.
Some couples never want to divorce: these are well off as they get the benefits
provided for married couples and never have to suffer through a divorce settlement.
Those that do want a divorce after a time are usually in a bad fix:
they've often tuned their lives for a permanent relationship with their partner
which is now ending.
Case 3: People marry and stay together even if they don't want to.
Some sort of compulsion is necessary for that, be it by religion, society, or law.
The law already provides some compulsion since a divorce is usually expensive.
Obviously people forced to stay together are not happy about it.
This may lead to a higher productivity since they want to spend as little time at home
as possible, or to Alcoholism, or in the worst case, to murder.
Of course they may re-adapt after a time.
