OK I agree with this, or at least I don't disagree with it.

Beyond that the legal part is a formality. It could be costly but the process actually considers all parties. Many do not agree with the outcome but a married couple earning while they are together both deserve to a share of those earnings.

Here is where you lose me. I'm not married and far from an expert but isn't the legal part kind of a big deal? Certainly more than a formality. I'm a economic thinker and most of my rational decisions are based around money, cost, and the value of my time. The idea that someone, other than myself, could have an equal share of the wealth that I've created for myself is highly unappealing. I know that sounds selfish, and well , it probably is but it's a reality none the less. If I do ever get married one thing is for sure, a prenuptial agreement is in order.
