I come from a completely different cultural background and I agree that marriage is a contract and is about money, property and assets as such. However, I find it presumptuous to say it is only that. To me, marriage is also a cultural institution and what is most important to me is it is a symbol and a ceremony that serves a psychological and social purpose in helping people, those who are marrying but also those around them, to navigate a major life change. Every cultural ritual we have serves that exact purpose. In my culture, we have very specific sets of rules that go with the rituals tied to big life changes - birth, death, marriage, etc. They are there to help people realise what the change entails and to ease people into a new life. Of course, in order to do the ritual, you don’t need to involve a contract and the government, but I really think it is reductive and in fact belittling to call marriage only a contract.

As a man, I see no reason for marriage to be a thing. There is no part of me that thinks "I love you so much, I want the government in on it".

yeah there are financial implications but there are beneficial aspects to it. But if you’re gonna live with them then you’ll have to deal with the consequences of being common law

If you’re gonna be in a committed, long-term relationship, why don’t I just get a certificate and get married?

Depending where you are, marriage can be the difference to whether the government and your spouses employers will give you the social security and pensions your partner earned. It can be the difference between getting custody/authority of their remains when they pass. Even getting to see their remains. Whether you get to keep the home yall built together or if you have to pay strangers for the privilege. Long term girlfriends don’t have the same rights as wives.

my future partner and I will get married if we're still together at the age of 60. I am NOT getting married any earlier than that.

I never wanted legal marriage or children. I've been in 3 long term relationships and in each one we stopped at a lawyer and had paperwork signed so if we got sick, in an accident or died we could make the decisions plus we had wills and life insurance policies. When we bought or sold homes & properties we had a lawyer do paperwork so if we split we'd know who was getting what or how much. It was extremely easy. My last partner passed away when I was 39. I made the decisions we agreed to and let his family have the funeral they wanted. I got everything we agreed on in the will and I got a large life insurance payout. I went to a grief group for a short time and almost all the women were married widows left penniless that had to have GFMs for funeral expenses but we're judging me for not being married.

Respect so much for this. I’m a current Political Science major, I relate to you in those courses. I agree with the sentiment on marriage, but also would marry with a prenup and only if I remained financially independent, I don’t agree with the idea of a joint account for everything. As a woman I feel it’s a security thing more than anything, but the idea of marrying an equal is still nice despite having your own personal aspirations and goals, like it’s a cool idea. Also again, in case you ever wanted a family, for the security of the kids basically. It’s a tough call because of how unique some circumstances are, but I agree with you here 100%

As a married person, I can absolutely see how someone isn’t “working toward” marriage. I wouldn’t trade my marriage for the world, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is in the same situation

My parents have been together and umarried for 40 years. They have a better relationship then most married people around me. They've found other ways to secure their respective assets. I find it so odd when people place so much importance on marriage to show commitment.

marriage also makes two strangers family in the eyes of the law, which matters as a spouse has a right to occupy the marital home even if it entirely owned and financed by the other person, they have a right to be maintained (food etc) by their spouse, they have rights if the person becomes incapacitated or dies, etc. Not doubting that a person can be as committed to another without marriage but there are consequences of marriage that matters when things go wrong whether because of relationship breakdown or serious illness/death etc

MJ :
"when you're dating, if you don't want to have children, if you don't want to be in a committed relationship" was your opening statement on the first video which is what made me think YOU were saying that not wanting to have kids or get married automatically means you don't want a committed relationship so that's what had me confused about your point.

as someone who never wanted to get married or have kids you can literally do everything, be committed and not involve the government. it's easy if you both dont want it but want each other

You either have the governments prenup or your own. Idk how much yall like the government but I know damn well they do not have women’s rights in mind. Or! They make you common law! And that also lumps your finances together with your partner. Regardless if you share finances with your partner.
