And I thought I was jaded. you can have a romantic relationship without getting married, not getting married is beneficial in that your partner doesn't get half of your stuff when you get a divorce

other that the tax benefits, marriage is purely cosmetic Or, you know, to make it easier for your family to function, as a symbol, spiritual and/or religious beliefs...

You are vastly oversimlplifying things. I just don't think marriage is nearly as important of an institution as some people seem to think it is.
