I think they’re hoping that when they break up (as they inevitably will) it will be a smaller legal mess if they’re not married and bound by all the state laws that affect property division, alimony, and other considerations. Well, that's it. Marriage is now a government-administered social program, and one has to carefully evaluate its regulatory requirements before deciding to register and disclose personal information. ;)

MAybe the Govt is part of the problem.
I know of an older couple that “live together” at age 70+ because marriage would have a dramatic impact on their incomes - in a bad way. (Social inSecurity anyone)
