Marriage is pointless, means nothing. I can fuck who I want if I'm married or not, if they consent (of legal age obviously*). If you consider cheating after marrying immoral I can accept that you can form a valid argument for it. But you need to realise some relationships, even marriages, are "open" (some two sided open, some one sided). Cheating in a relationship isn't something I've done. I could see why someone could think it's not immoral though. But you are actually considering pre marital sex immoral (assuming consent granted), you're ridiculous! Don't you enjoy having fun?
Both of these are your opinions and don't necessarily apply to others. Marriage is defined by the people involved, not a third party. And marriage, like church and religion, can be a complex thing and different for different people. You can simplify marriage if you want and say it's just a contract, but that's just a convenient definition and doesn't include the actual parameters involved. Don't fool yourself into thinking you understand these things if you think they are so simple. You are doing the same thing many Christians do when they say a fallen Christian who became and atheist was never a true Christian. You're pretending to know what others think. In fact, I would say that your conclusion that life is more basic than I think is exactly the opposite of true.
