i don’t think it’s the path for everyone but for me i want it. there’s tax reasons, medical reasons, religious reasons, and if the worst case happens a bf/gf can just leave and take assets but a husband/wife can’t. there’s ways around a few of the stuff but honestly marriage to me just is more secure than them. overall it just depends on how you and your partner feel about marriage and if it’s the right path for yall

if this helps: i would rather do anything else than get married. i’m 23 and i don’t ever see myself settling down with someone. i also don’t want kids so marriage doesn’t feel like a need for me. obviously this is STRICTLY my opinion and choice. i also only date girls now, so maybe it would change the trajectory of my life in terms of getting married as well but getting married/being a mom has NEVER been a dream of mine like it is for others. things can change but-

statistically married women die sooner, make less money, have worse mental health, are more likely to be exposed to violence, and do more household labor compared to single women
