This probably depends on the country, but being married can make some official processes simpler. For example, if a married person dies there are certain things that just default to their official spouse unless otherwise specified in a legal will.
This kinda makes your point about it being a financial arrangement, with a bit of a legal one in there too I guess.
I also think it sometimes makes things easier where kids are involved during official processes.
Also your spouse gets privileges and powers as you’re dying. The reason gay marriage is legal in America stems from someone being refused those rights. It was a major problem during AIDS too.
