So those are the reasons marriage evolved. It’s the nash equilibrium where everyone has the best possible for all even if no one has the optimum possible. Humans are naturally serially monogamous. It’s farming, property, eugenics that made long term monogamous marriage useful

@OfSalamis None of that really holds up given that in history 70% of women reproduced and 30% of men. So throughout history reproduction has been asymmetric.Marriage evolved to control conflcit, property and responsibility for offspring, thereby shielding the population from hazard of care.
