You are making a false dichotomy here to make the opposing argument seem ridiculous. You say no one should get married if there will be no children, she said that people do find value in getting married without children and somehow you jump to the idea that people who don't get married are stupid because they don't choose to obtain those values/benefits? Hardly what she or anyone else insinuated. There are also some reasons that people may not WANT to get married. That value judgement is for the individual couple to make, based on their individual situation and needs. Except for gay couples, of course, who have no choice.
