I meant mostly relative to just being a couple not single.
You can add co-dependents to all types of insurance (health, travel etc.) which is easier and cheaper for married people than it is for a couple. As for travel itself - visa and all travel bureaucracy is always easier for married people. My wife is Thai and much of the world is super racist against Thai passports so we just piggyback of my EU passport in most countries and of her Thai passport in ASEAN countries - it’s a real game changer. Not to mention how differently you are being treated by all bureaucratic and security checks. Being married is like living in the fast lane when it comes to bureaucracy.



















No i just dont think it’s a good metric for comitment and doesn’t encapsulate the spirit of committed relationship. It might actually distract from achieving real meaningful comitment as people do the predefine ceremony which is not very meaningful compared to a more personal ritual and bonding.
