In (my version of) Buddhism, 'heaven' is the state of happiness & Nirvana is the state of peace.

The Buddha taught both our happiness & peace of mind are dependent on our actions or karma. To develop wholesome karma is one constituant of the Buddhist path.

The Buddha taught our actions (and their results) are dependent on our intentions.

So in Buddhism, the institution of marriage does not have great importance because what is important is the intentions two people have towards eachother.

The Buddha greatly emphasised intentions based in non-harming, protection & compassion.

The Buddha praised faithfulness as the primary virtue in marriage.

So if two people wisely consider their mutual goals & develop the aspiration to protect, care & be faithful towards eachother, this will lead to their mutual happiness & peace.

The Buddha wished for human beings to have happiness & peace.

Kind regards
