In United States, what are the benefits of getting legally married?

posted 10 months ago

It looks like taxes increase and any kind of post-life planning can be done with a few legal filings rather than getting married. Is there any real benefit? It kinda seems like it’s just a way to trap people in relationships, probably traditionally, the woman.

Remember, news typically consists of the noteworthy, not the commonplace. It still sucks if you’re the lucky one to have your privileges removed, though.

Absolutely. Most parents would let your partner in, but for the chance that they don’t? People can go weird with grief, I’d be worried.
