Depends on if you define marriage through religion or through a legal system. Organized religion predates legal systems other than authoritarian whims of kings, tribal chieftains, etc.
Mostly, I'd say that marriage is a religious construct. Prior to that "marriage" would be more an agreement between parties rather than something legally or religious-ly significant. So, religion, first.
Good inventions? Hard to say no after reading Weber.

Marriage was a business agreement between men back then,
Organized religion came later but unorganized religion was before marriage.

Marriage existed long before organized religion.
Marriage is good. Most of the time. Its a public declaration of comittment to each other.
Organized religion is bad.

Greed and jealousy came before either.
We just need more good Marriages and faithful people to counter act them.
Peace!
