    Could you imagine being so shallow that the only thing that’s important is spending a lot of money and not having genuine love…

      It’s not shallow, marriage is a government sanctioned contract. If you two have genuine love then the government sanctioned marriage doesn’t matter.

        “Marriage is a government sanctioned contract”

        It can’t get more romantic than that. /j

        At least in the US the marriage contract gives a massive ton of legal access to shared things, discounts, medical decisions, and a bunch of other stuff. You can kind of come close by spending a bunch of money on legal documentation, but still not exactly the same.
