Why do we offer any legal advantages? Why do married couples deserve privileges over single or asexual people?

Note that I dropped the word married here in my proposal. It would be a civil union, not marriage.

In any case, the legal advantages are things that make it easier to live together permanently. As far as I'm concerned, if we moved to my proposal you should be able to get a civil union just for that reason.

So, if two best friends or roommates want to have a civil union because it makes their life easier have at it. If irreconcilable difficulties occur, then they can sever the union in court much like today's divorces.
