If that's all true, then monogamy isn't hard wired in us, and as we get more and more to the point when a women doesn't, physically, need a man to raise a child with her, marriage would become less important. If all of the theory you posted was true it could mean the exact opposite, that monogamy was hard wired in to us. The evolutionary advantage to monogamy would have occurred a long time ago and the people more prone to monogamy would be those who had kids who presumably would on the average be slightly more prone to monogamy then the population would have been had there not been this evolutionary advantage. Of course once the actual evolutionary advantage is gone then monogamy would become psychologically less important for many people, but this would take a while not a generation or two. Tim
