Yes, for many people marriage is quite important. They take it very seriously and in many cases it carries with it sacred and religious undertones that make it even more important to them.

I never once disputed that. What I said was "That's not -necessarily- (And here I use the philosophical sense of the word 'necesasry' which is "Completely required in all cases and circumstances") the case for everybody."

Is someone wrong to not take it seriously? Like, objectively universally wrong? Someone who marries a stranger so they can immigrate into the country, good friends who marry because of the tax benefits, hopeless romantics who think it will always work out. Are they actually incorrect to not take it as seriously as you do?

Yes.
