      I’m not sure how he thinks he’s gonna change all our minds if he keeps describing forgoing sex with men as “decadent.” I mean really if that’s the situation maybe it’s kind of on the men to make it even a little bit appealing?

      Valid point. thing is, how would I make marriage/family appealing when I can't even rationalize it to myself in the first place? The tax break isn't worth it, combining credit scores sucks, the risk of divorce and financial ruination, can't afford healthcare or kids...

      Credit scores don't get combined with marriage. Mine is still better than my husband's by like 30-35 points because my credit history is over ten years older than his because he didn't need to borrow money for school.

      not trying to start an argument, but just illustrating the point that I can't come up with a sensible financial/economic argument for getting married anymore.

      Getting married is a major tax advantage if the tray partners have highly disparate incomes and a penalty if the incomes are very close together (because it's adding up the two incomes and putting them into a doubled bracket)

      It wasn't intentional when they made up the rule but it basically directly incentivizes "traditional" breadwinner/homemaker marriages and discourages marriage between two high earners, it's a major source of pressure in the upper middle class for the wife to become a homemaker

      It's also usually a major net financial savings for two people to be on one health insurance policy rather than two, especially a group market policy without individual underwriting (ie an employer plan)

          And there's the stuff everyone brings up that seems minor until it happens to you, like automatically being each other's heir if you die and automatically having power of attorney if you're in the hospital and so on

          I mean my point is that obviously sure marriage is a bad deal if you end up getting divorced or you don't like your partner or they screw you over But assuming you do want to live in long term partnership with someone it's objectively much cheaper and easier to do so married
