You have a good start, but I don't think you have this one nailed. Your life-cycle is short some elements and includes an element that has no business being there.
Your question brought back some old memories. In 1961 a medical drama appeared on television. It was titled "Ben Casey". The show opened with a blackboard, a mans arm drawing and the sound of a narrators voice.
The arm drew symbols as the narrator spoke five words, one for each symbol. The first symbol was a circle with an arrow head projecting at about 2 o'clock and was accompanied by the narrator saying "man". The second symbol, a circle with a small cross a 6 o'clock was identified as "woman". An asterisk was followed by "birth", a cross was followed by "death" and the horizontal 8 was followed by "infinity". I always considered that to be the life-cycle.
Marriage has no place in the life-cycle, there is nothing about marriage that perpetuates the specie. It is man made and nothing more than a contract recognized by the state. Marriage is meant to provide a stable environment for the results (children) of a union between a man and a woman.
I included web site if you are too young to recall the show.
BTW, a very interesting question.

I agree about birth and death, but marriage is not a natural phenomenon. We came up with that one, and it was probably a great idea back when people died before they were 30 and spent most of their time working.
Now that you have to live with your spouse for decades...well, not always natural or a good thing.

Kinda yeah, but you forgot one IMPORTANT thing..... YOUR TIME.... you should have a life before you start one. So I would say Birth, Own Life, then marriage, and then live happily for a very long time, then death would be the natural way.

no. marriage is social/political. that has nothing to do with life. if you are spiritual and that plays a role in your marriage, that is an internal component that doesn't effect the rest of us. there are many different lifestyles that make people live comfortable, effective lives. some don't prefer to be married, and some prefer to be married with open relationships. i don't think i want to make a judgement about any of them because it doesn't effect my life.
so i disagree. i think that sex, birth, and death are the life-cycle.
