as a dude in a long term, committed, unmarried relationship, i've never had anybody explain the "benefits" of marriage to me in a way that actually makes me want to do it.  > vague tax benefits okay but i'm already doing well. any tax benefit i get is far outweighed by the risk of divorce court/alimony etc > but your children! we dont have kids but, even when we do, we're still together and would still parent together. marriage doesnt change the dynamic at all > it's just what you do fuck that, i'm not a drone just putting together my life like a fucking ikea bookshelf.  seriously, what's the supposed benefit for me? i know how it benefits women but men have literally no reason to view marriage positively. the only men who still get married are retarded followers that just view it as the next step without question.
