Beautifully put on why you're married. Funnily enough I was having a conversation with someone just the other day about the same thing. The only reason for marrying legally is to have all the legal benefits which automatically make your spouse your next of kin. This can be done by other channels if need be. Common law man and wife used to be enough until legal started trumping law.

Come to an agreement, shake hands, kiss, however you want to formalise the contract, then get on with your life together.
The state doesn't get to decide whether or not I'm married.
