Abolish Marriage.
We don’t need the state or religious authorities dictating our relationships.
Amen, brother.
Need to do something for stuff like inheritance and visitation rights that's currently coupled (pun intended) to marriage.
National Emergency Contact Database. Sign a piece of paper together to make each other emergency contacts in the eyes of the govt. have as many as you’d like!
Well in my ideal view we would abolish the state and abolish capitalism, so those things aren’t too much of an issue.
That would solve many problems, but stuff like "Who gets to visit you in the hospital?" and "who gets your personal belongings when you expire?" might need some thought. There are likely easy to solve, but still require some thought.
A will amd Power of Attorney do those without marriage. I've been with my partner for 15 years, unmarried, and haven't had a problem with it yet.
I was in a car accident and spent two weeks unconcious in the ICU, so its not like its untested either.
True but a will and power of attourney are also more complicated and expensive to get
Cmopared to standard marriage, are they any better or just extra steps
Nope, you can get the forms online for free.
That's the role of the de facto union. But the civil union usually grants you special conditions, along with your spouse.
