Traditional marriage is one the cheapest and most resilient contract. I have weirdos in my family who make a living of going after other family members' inheritances, and found that getting married was the simplest, strongest and in fact cheapest way to protect my spouse and children.
Unfortunately this only apply if you intend to have a traditional marriage, heterosexual, a couple, and no intention to brake it. Marriage was invented by religious people back when they were the custodians of the laws. Because of this a lot of people are very strongly attached to that notion. Secular societies should invent a new word, and new contracts more suited for modern society.

- dorfsmay 11y agoSend paperwork to be signed to "help with sorting out with clearing all the administrivia related to a recent death in the family", which is in fact legalese that says that you accept to give your part of the inheritance to them. Challenge wills in court to get a bigger portion. I exaggerated by saying "making a living" (not enough money around) but very annoying at a time you normally focus on grieving, and definitely something I don't want my spouse and kids to have to go through.
