Happily Ever After: The Benefits of Tying the Knot
Marriage is a beautiful thing, y’all. There’s nothing more wonderful than watching a couple commit themselves to each other. However, as lovely as it is, some people are still fearful of getting married. After all, it’s a major life decision. This article will discuss the benefits of tying the knot for those who are on the fence.
Medical Decisions
Y’all, the primary benefit of getting married is getting to make medical decisions on behalf of your partner. I couldn’t imagine not being able to help my husband if he was incapacitated. One of the disadvantages of common law marriage is not being able to make medical decisions for your partner. Even if people are together for a long time, they can’t decide anything for the other person if they aren’t married.
Insurance
Another of the benefits of tying the knot is that you can get insurance through your partner’s employer. It’s essential to have health insurance these days because medical expenses are through the roof. If you don’t have insurance, you could end up spending a fortune trying to get better. For this reason, you should get married to keep each other safe if the worst happens.
Public Acknowledgement
I remember when my hubby and I first got married. I got a rush every time someone referred to me as his wife. If you’re in a common-law marriage, only you two will know about it. There’s no ceremony declaring that you’ll dedicate your life to one another. So, if you want your family, friends, and institutions to acknowledge your relationship, you ought to get married.
Don’t get me wrong—marriage is tough. There are some days that are harder than others. Yet, I wouldn’t change my situation for the world. I still love being referred to as a wife, and I’d hate not being able to make medical decisions for my husband if needed. The truth is that I love being married. I hope this article has convinced y’all of the benefits, too.
