fair enough...I know you weren't implying this, but I hear some people speak of the 'tax advantage' of getting married, and what you are pointing out above is hardly a major tax advantage...in most cases the single person supporting only themselves is probably doing better (financially, maybe not in other ways)than the same person who then gets married, is supporting two people (only in the scenario that their partner makes below threshold) and gets a small tax benefit
