The short answer is religion.
Marriage is a civil institution in Germany. A church marrying you has exactly as much legal power as a random citizen doing it: None. You get married at the civil registry office, by a bureaucrat (but yes they’re amenable to some mild ceremony)
What about the whole Christian no-sex-before-marriage? Has to contribute at least something
Maybe among the 0.0001% devout.
