The law disagrees with you.

Marriage did mean that. Why the definition had to change is debatable. Controlling words is controlling thought. That probably had a lot to do with it. Equal rights do not necessarily entail identical verbiage.

Marriage has always been a contract. For religious people it may also be a sacrament. But, it's between consenting parties as the state is not party to the contract.

Has NOTHING to do with children inheriting. Marriage is a contract between consenting parties. The state is not involved unless there's a dispute in a disolution. The state doesn't want to raise our children.

Your understanding is demonstrably insufficient.

Ask a lawyer. I am certified in civil litigation.

Most marriages end in divorce. Look at our leaders. Many have divorced and alot of people worship them.

The marriage and the "contract" were between a man and a woman, as has been discussed. Rights and contracts can be equal between parties without changing the traditional meaning of marriage. That was a social movement effort.

Yes, and the contract is first and foremost between consenting adults. Civil rights take precedence.

Your arguments in sum amount to maintaining that nouns mean nothing. That appears to be an increasingly common view.

So tell me any other primate that is monogamous?
Hint, there are none.
So then it unless humans did not evolve from other primates, likely humans also are not monogamous.
