Yeah, marital/sexual relationships can be broken down into economic components but the economics don’t go greatly far in explaining it. Because to be blunt, getting a marriage license and getting married is an economically irrational act that simply can’t be explained in economic terms. For all but a very small portion of those who are looking at legal marriage, it makes zero economic sense.
But rejoice! There is some real silver in this cloud. Caesar has essentially killed caesar’s own perverted version of marriage. Oh well. It is still possible and I would argue very desirable to get married in the church, but to simply forego the marriage license. Thus getting all the blessings of sacramental marriage yet avoiding the disadvantages. Married in the eyes of God, but not in the eyes of the state.

So whose blessing do you care more about? Those of God, or those of dear leader?

I couldn't have said it better RKBA

That is what is important! Being Married in the eyes of G-d!
