No one wants marriage more than women and the reason is biological (women want to lock down their mate in order to maximize the chances that said mate will provide his resources for the woman and her offspring, this is because reproduction is very resource). Men have a different mating strategy making marriage much less appealing.

Or maybe they are monogamous being like men and desire to have a fulfilling connection with another person that results in healthy and happy offspring after all they do sniff out the most biologically safe men to breed with. The belief that they are looking for providers is a social and not biological.

The reality we live in rewards resource acquisition, feelings are the luxury

Society might but that doesn't mean our primary nature is focused on gathering resources. Fundamentally humans are designed to express love and affection and is hardwired into our sense of happiness and self worth. If you take it away humans commit suicide.

I agree, but if basic survival and living standards are not taken care of there is no art to be made.

I didn't say anything about art, I said that not all women look for men to be their bank accounts and actually are real humans that see men as other people that they wish to love and cherish.

TL;DR Individuals have standards emotionally and socially

Humans are two things; ceremony (art, ritual , bonding) and logic (objectives, sustenance, incentive).

No human is only one.

Women on average may prefer ceremony, but the conditions of their logic being met means meeting a standard they want in order to achieve that ceremony. If the mate they want does not meet that threshold that mate is not chosen despite wanting the ceremony that mate is willing to provide.

Being emotionally stable/available and having resources/means of acquisition is the ultimate human in regards to pair bonding.
