Just fucking end marriage. It’s fucking archaic. When two people become partners they enter a business partnership . That’s it. It should be treated as such.
Love and romance has little to do with the privileges granted by the state. Or do you think people should not be allowed to marry if they are not in love?
Sure, that’s fine too, but the vast majority of marriages now are based on love. Business arrangements are fine too, they just aren’t what people usually get married for.
A wedding and a relationship doesn’t require endorsement by the government. Go have a ceremony, grow old together, but you don’t need your local county clerk having a say in it.
I happen to agree, me and my wife lived together for years before getting paperwork done. Just finally had to do it, it is just too much work otherwise. From insurance, to property, to inheritance, to medical decisions. A justice of a peace simple thing.

That feels sad lol. People like marriage because it feels good and it’s romantic. It’s not supposed to be a business partnership.
Lemmy man. We need more normies here.

There are other parts of the world besides the super wealthy West
That argument could be turned around. There are other parts of the world other than the East. I get what you’re saying though.
well then have a party, invite your friends and put on your pretty dress and say you’re married now.
Cool thanks! I loved wearing my wedding dress and saying my vows.

With divorce rates and the view on marriage not being great, we might finally go back to the “business partnership” it was before. Thank god.
