I'd get married for the legal benefits, but knowing what I know now I don't think the institution is all that reasonable. It seems more a vestige of religious domination over peoples lives. Exclusing religion and governmental benefits, marriage seems to be just for show. I'm cool throwing a massive party for everyone I love to celebrate my SO, absolutely, but exchanging unrealistic vows is disingenuous. Just because I love someone unconditionally today doesn't mean I will 50 years from now, and it's okay to admit that. That doesn't mean I care less now.
