I really don't know. I really want the fairy tale, but I would bet most marriages are because of kids or acquiescence.

I don't think fairy tales ever exist in reality. Too many people probably do marry without realizing that. Marriage involves lots of compromises, the percentages always changing.

There are a few more choices than that. For me, I would only get married to give my BF my good health insurance. So, next time I would word your question to be more open-ended.

First we must answer another question, which is the higher percentage, self-honesty or self-deception? I'd place my bets on self-deception.

there's all kinds of reason people get married but i venture to say more people marry out of convenience, like for health insurance and so on; as opposed to the "fairy tale".
i mean seriously if you look at the history of marriage... and regardless of why you marry, the divorce rates are proof alone people either marry for the wrong reasons or the wrong people. i personally am not a big fan of marriage - i enjoy being in love and passion way too much to be bothered...

Fairy tales are just that. Myth. Acquiescence sounds too extreme the other way. Marriage is different things at different times, mostly in between the two extremes.
