I don't think children are a factor in determining marriage.

Not directly in determining whether or not a specific relationship is a marriage but they are the reason for the cultural institution in the first place, and the primary reason for societal and government support of and recognition of it.

The typical marriage was likely to generate children and these cultural/societal and government actions, ideas, definitions and institutions evolved, and even with today's later marriage, common contraceptive use, and lower desire for children, that's still true, even if to a noticeably reduced extent.
