Marriage exists because:

  • Tax reasons
  • Convenience, various
  • Benefits sharing
  • Maintain thousands of otherwise useless careers
  • Some people like feeling extra special
  • Religious stupidity
  • Cake

Marriage exists because of the patriarchy.

Seriously. It was a business transaction between men.
