Marriage is inextricably linked to religion, what you're asking is ridiculous.
The current form of marriage is so bad that the only people buying in are only doing it because they think they'll go to hell if they don't.
It either needs to be gotten rid of, or changed radically.
I had an idea myself for it, the idea that you have to renew your marriage after a set period or it just expires. For example, someone might have liked a person 2 years ago, but they've gotten fat and demanding, so they don't renew the marriage.
Til death do us part is an absolute joke and we need to face reality.
Tradition provides solutions to problems we forgot. It doesn't take religion to understand the utility of marriage as a stabilizing force that enables the continuation and growth of civilization.
Now, name a single example of a high culture that produced great works that didn't have marriage.

Marriage must provide at least twenty years of stability, because the primary societal purpose of marriage is to create a stable foundation on which to raise a child. Suggesting that we should normalise no-fault divorces after 1/10th of that time is insanity.

You're talking to an insane person
Yeah, the current system works perfectly. As long as you're a woman.
Most marriages don't make 5 years, let alone 20.
