What do you get from getting married?

Apart from a ring, the guy does get a ring right? Are there tax advantages or what?

Headaches. Lots of ******* headaches.

Ball and chain.

Tax advantages? I think you are looking at this from the wrong angle.

Wilderbeast · 17 Oct 2012 at 16:32

There is no financial gain to be had anymore, and men do get rings, just not an engagement ring.

RomanNose · 17 Oct 2012 at 16:32

A wife.

Antar Bolaeisk · 17 Oct 2012 at 16:33

I'm fairly certain the tax advantages don't balance with the additional costs

I'm pretty sure that ends after the honeymoon.

So there isnt really a good reason then? Or to put it another way there's nothing you can get that you couldn't get without being married?

tom_e · 17 Oct 2012 at 16:43

Wedding gifts and cake?

Automatic rights over all their stuff if they die.

It can help massively with child custody cases if you are married at the time of birth.

I just like referring to 'my wife'.

She's fit and that.

Your partner gets your surname. This would make me really proud. I look forward to next step

Marriage isn't a bad thing. People who get married after knowing each other for a matter of months is.

Tattysnuc · 17 Oct 2012 at 16:56

It's actually disadvantageous to get married for tax purposes.
If one of you come out of work, then you the others income is supposed to support the out of work person.

What did I get? A happy marriage, and a wife I can devote my life to loving.
