And I hate to break it to GG, but single people buy houses and have housewarming showers.

One of the best episodes ever.
Those single people are missing out on the most dramatic amazing moment of their lives. Ever. You save something special to give to your husband and if you don't get married you give it to your house full of cats. It's just not the same.

Like I (and 33girl) said, the distinctive of marriage is the promise of lifetime commitment. As someone who has been married for over 20 years, I can say that your examples of saving something (like living together or whatever else) for that someone special that you didn't do with anyone else, or else what's the point of marriage, stuck me as totally missing the point. Sorry, but that's how it came across to me.

To clarify, in her words a woman should save something special for her HUSBAND. This is not something so egalitarian as that of which you speak.
