Now of course, these are young couples who've been married for just a few years, but I haven't noticed any change whatsoever in their social lives, except for the couple that had the baby. They don't complain about each other either.

And that's precisely the reason why I don't see any point to marriage.
What is the point of it if you can be perfectly happy without it? Why go through all the legal stuff, organizing and financial proceedings, just to say: "I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you".
It just seems incredibly pointless to me. If I ever get married, it will be after she really really really wants it and proposes to me, since I will never ask a woman to marry me, ever.
