Instead of just living with someone with no label on it. Are there actually any benefits to it apart from the fact you can say you're married?
It's a lot of money and effort for a piece of paper.

To indoctrinate an artificial stability as a means to control the mindless sheeple of this planet.

There is no point to it, its an outdated practice that we don`t need in a modern society.
I know people say that its proof of love but i call that BS. I mean do you suddenly start to love a person more when you get married?
I say banned it
And just to make it clear i am not against love or anything like that. I am just don`t see the point in marriage

I wouldn't begrudge anyone the choice of "just living with someone with no label on it;" my now-husband and I did it for 25 years. But as a legal construct, the answer to your question is "yes," and the GAO enumerates 1,138 of them. United States General Accounting Office |

...it depends on what your definition of "is" is...

-If you believe in God (i.e. The Holy Trinity(Father/Son(Jesus Christ)/Holy Spirit)) then you know the point.
-If you don't, then marriage will seem pointless.
it's really that simple.

It's for kindred spirits, the one in which you share an unspoken bond, a profound mystical understanding.

There are no benefits.
It's just a Rhythmic Ceremonial Ritual like the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

It's a lot of money and effort for a piece of paper. well according to Wikipedia, there are health advantages there are legal issues. if you are living with someone without marriage, no matter how long, if you are not in one of the states that recognizes Common law marriage even if you live with someone 20 years, you have no power of attorney...you have no say over their health (pull the plug), their estate, etc. that marriage license creates a contract. |

Your kindred spirit, the one in which you share an unspoken bond, a profound mystical understanding with is exactly someone who you would want to spend the rest of your life living with. What I'm asking is what the point of the legal act of marriage is. Marriage is not proof of love, it's only proof of marriage. |

Sorry, I don't find it that simple. I do not consider myself a Christian, yet I do consider myself truly blessed to be married to my husband of 30+ years. Perhaps it helps that my husband is a Christian--and one of the best human beings (if not the best) I know...as I said, it's not that simple. :-) That said, I think marriage has a point only if the participants in such a union are happier with it than without it. (Of course, that could apply to many other things as well.) |

ellynmacgCongrats  I got to give you credit for 30+ years as nowadays marriages don't seem to last because from what I heard marriage is basically a sacrifice (like both sides have to give/sacrifice for one another as if things go too far toward either side (like if one of the two becomes too selfish) I could see problems arising) where as I think many go into it thinking mainly about themselves etc. p.s. my parents are going on 40 years of marriage this August. Well from a Christian angle... people sleeping together without being married is a sin and it's a serious sin at that. but those who don't believe in God will ignore this important aspect. but I can see why many would think marriage is pointless (especially us guys) because if one is not married one does not have to worry about the other taking half of their stuff if they get a divorce. like it's just a safer bet not to get married. basically... If I did not believe in God, marriage would just seem like a unnecessary risk.
