I'm no Batman, but I'm a decent joker. (rimshot)
I'd suggest that pair-bonding (marriage) is a social (perhaps legal) construct mostly designed to manage, maintain, and pass-on wealth through the confusing branch system that is the "family" name. Wealth could be anything... cold hard cash, spitting camels, or wampum.
I'd say we only really get married so we can have stability. No guy really marries a woman saying to himself, "Man, I can't wait to spend 40 years boinking the same old snatch!" We wouldn't go through some bullshit promise rite if it didn't outweigh crotch-slamming a different woman every 2 weeks to 6 months.
This is where the sexual end of the animal overrides the fiscal animal and we ask our wives how they feel about reenacting a scene from Ten Miles of Tough Tongue whilst we simultaneously pound away on the hindquarters of a newer model named Sherry Von Skankyslot.
You know why I miss being married? Because it made me feel more financially successful.
My exwife would have never gone for a threesome. She couldn't even handle the idea that men utilize pornography as a fantasy / release mechanism.
