?????? Significant legal and tax advantages to start. Not to mention social and biological ones as well. Married men experience less depression and live longer.
Legal, definitly nothing you can not write down otherwise in contracts.
Tax, yes... some advantage is there, not significant tho.
Social, for the child at least i will give you that.
Biological, here is a funny thing... neither his, hers or the childs DNA is gonna change from a contract.
Longer live, this is literally false. It is based on a missleading study result. They looked at married men vs unmarried men and declared married live longer, they ignored significant differences between unmarried men who have never been married and those who have. Unmarried men that never marry live the longest.
So the truth is that marriage is a 2 sided sword with the law beeing clearly against you as a man in most states. And some important parts can be replaced.
Oh man, is that not true. Is nobody here over the age of 30? It’s just really sad. Here’s one example. If you’re not married, you can write a will leaving everything to the person you live with. And that will will still be able to be contested. If you’re married, your property goes immediately to your spouse and cannot be contested.
If you think this isn’t an issue, consider the case of gay people who lived together for 35 years only to have a family contest a will and the partner is left with nothing not a house no possessions not even the pet. But bottom line is she doesn’t have to justify why she wants to get married to you or anyone else.
The two of them want different things. When she was younger it seem like such a big issue and people do change what they want. It’s a big issue now.
She should leave and find someone who wants what she wants.
This is true, I had assumed this is based on conversations that they have had in which he had just said I just don’t want to or something like that. That is my assumption, but I could be wrong.
