Why are you getting married, anyway?

Shawn Fremstad at inclusionist writes on Tuesday about an interesting statistic from a Kaiser Family Foundation Poll, that 5% of those surveyed got married for access to health care benefits. That doesn’t mean that they discussed it, or that was part of the overall decision that maybe had them get married earlier, or anything like that - it’s that they “mainly” chose to do so for that reason.

So, here’s a question for all of you potential grooms out there - is that a “valid” reason to be the priority for getting married?
