Why are marriages linked to the law at all? What is stopping me from having a marriage ceremony with my wife, putting the ring on, saying my vows, and than proceeding to be legally single? The fact we have to write down on our taxes that you are ‘married’ seems like some third world religious bullshit to me. Stay the fuck out of my life lol. I mean most marriages don’t even work out, so the whole ceremony thing kind of seems useless in itself no?

Governments give tax breaks to families because they are literally raising the future of the country. They're trying to encourage stable relationships that will result in new citizens, otherwise the country will die.
