I don't think there is anything wrong with marriage but rather, the extreme formalization of the process has gone off in the wrong direction. If two people are truly unified, they might as well be considered married.
As far as labels go, its a form of arguing with semantics. Labels are often put in place to make things sound better or sound worse. In the poltical sphere, a lot of political wrangling happens over how to "word" or "name" laws, conditions, or processes because it changes the way people think (in a scary manner). Humans tend to seek patterns in things and often times, association becomes confused with cause and effect.
