I see marriage as a traditional legal binding that can alter your life significantly depending on your state and country.
You might see it differently. What does marriage mean to you?

The point, to me, is using the government to tell hospitals what to do. I don’t want my parents making big decisions for me - I want the family I chose, my spouse, to do that.
Can’t you get a letter of authorization to make decisions for your partner and vice versa?
Yes. And then sign another authorization for each other topic - another for disposal of my property if I die, one for my funeral preferences, one to pick up my prescriptions, and hope I don’t forget any.
Or, courthouse, one time, 15 minutes, and done.
A marriage license acts like a super convenient combination of othet legal documents.
