Exactly. Marriage is a one-stop-shop for your spouse to get a whole host of rights, in addition to a committed affirmation of one's love for the other person.

And if one thinks procreation isn't to be encouraged, I would point out the issues a lot of European countries are currently having with their birth rates being lower than their death rates and what that means for the financial health of the country.
