My boyfriend has aspergers and he says marriage is a financial thing not something needed for a successful relationship. Is this because of his autism?
It's quite possible that he doesn't feel or understand how emotionally important it can be for some people. Aspies can fail to understand social customs sometimes and take things literally. If you are different, you may have to come to terms with the fact that he might not process things the same way as you do, but maybe try to explain directly how you feel about it if it's different.
But yeah, like Nick said, not being a fan of marriage and kids is pretty widespread even among NT people, so it can just be a personal preference.
