I'm kind of annoyed with whole idea, and not just because I am currently completing the section of my property outline that consists of all of the things married people can do that single people can't.
Really, why is it necessary for the government to sanction it? Can't we just all make contracts with whomever we want to give them rights like sharing a house, insurance benefits, (kids!) etc. Why do politicians who claim to be small-government want to decide who I get to fight with over toilet paper replacement-issues and whether or not that person can inherit my estate without taxes?
If I ever get married, I'm tempted to just have a huge wedding ceremony that's completely invalid in the eyes of the law. Then I can live in sin until I've adversely possessed my partner's marital interest and become his/her common law wife.
(If you're in law school, please don't point out how absurdly wrong that is. My property outline is only half done!)

If property law is codification of accepted tradition, vice rational thought and justice; you are SOL.
