    Wait is there other reasons to get married than gov treating non-married couples unequally?

      Religious reasons. Whether it be a set religion or a personal interpretation on human spirituality linked with sexuality, etc

        And for people that aren’t religious?

          Probably isn’t much point apart from government benefits, lol.

            Yeh. I will say I’ve heard there’s like over a thousand benefits the government affords married people ranging from taxes to visiting in the hospital, etc. So back to the original point that if the government didn’t incentivize it then what would be the point?

                Idk, the romantic in me likes the idea commitment like that and celebrating having found someone with friends and family 🥲
