The state shouldn't be in the practice of giving anyone benefit for being married, or being single, or for living with their dowager aunt and flea-bitten dog.

The issue in all of this is the tax code and the benefits conferred by it. With a national retail sales tax system instead of our "reward/punishment via the income taxation system," then benefits wouldn't be conferred by tax schedules, deductions, and special benefits.

All the other so-called marital issues are easily handled by a decent will disposing of one's estate.

This is an expansion of the notion and practice of "common law" marriages. While it threatens traditional marriage, it also threatens to shackle a lot of men who presently get their "milk for free" without "buying the cow."
