Having lived through my parents' unhappy marriage, I'm strongly resistant to getting married.

However, my current partner has better retirement benefits than I do (both Social Security and pension benefits). I recently joked with him that we should marry so that I inherit his benefits should he kick off before I do. That would be an unpleasant reason to get married.

Regarding health insurance, currently it looks like we're better off not being married. That's probably also true for tax purposes.

We got married before Obamacare so she needed to get on my insurance.
