Not everyone sees it the same way.....I see it as a legal contract, albeit one you're supposed to get into with someone you love. Besides is she sure her health insurance will automatically cover you and not require an expensive dependent coverage?
This reminds me of when I was in grad school. There was a girl from the phillipines and if she failed her qualifying exam she would have to leave the country immediately. She was my friend and I jokingly suggested that i would marry her if the state weren't against same sex marriage. It's amazing how far we've come with basic human rights now that would be possible. I wasn't dating anyone, I would have done it to save her from going home.
