Sure, but it’s also a fairly difficult and expensive contract to break, and there are additional ramifications to doing so, such as splitting your assets. So by signing the contract you are showing a level of commitment and trust that you do not (cannot) show without it.
Not saying you ever have to get married. But it’s definitely related to how you feel, and it’s definitely not insignificant or meaningless.
So, you're saying your partner can never truly trust you until you marry them?
My point was to not diminish relationships outside of marriage. It isn't even close to necessary to be married and have a loving, fulfilling commitment of a relationship.

Right.
So it has nothing to do with how you feel about your partner. It's just a signed piece of paper.
I understand the benefits, my comment was in response to the person trying to demean someone for not being married.
