Marriage is a religious bond, not just a legal contract. People should enter into it because they believe in the concept of marriage, not because they want legal benefits - and it certainly isn't a higher sense of commitment than cohabitation.

If people want to get married then fine but i don't think people should be pressured into doing so.
I'm sure the ridiculous amounts a wedding costs can be put to much better use.
A couple in a long term relationship should have all a married couple gets.
