My partner is permemantly disabled, so getting married grants them protection financially if anything happens to me. I could totally make a will and say “All my stuff goes to spouse”, but if my family (not that they ever would) wanted to intervene because we weren’t married, they could.
Now? Because we’re married my partner gets anything and everything if something happens to me. The house, the cars, the dogs, my inheritance, everything.
Or y’know, some people just want a break on taxes
