When getting married makes financial sense

“Getting married comes with tax benefits that unmarried couples don’t enjoy. Property you receive from your spouse, for instance, is treated as a gift for income tax purposes and therefore isn’t taxable to you”. 

It’ll never catch on as a chat-up line but the reality is that getting married, in many instances, makes financial sense due to certain perks married couples receive. But what is the future of marriage? Many want to do it, plenty think it’s outdated, lots can’t afford it. 

Short-term, it can cost a lot of money, but there are long-term benefits (as long as it works out).
