Marriage makes a big difference as far as taxes are related and all the other benefits you can get by claiming you are married on different forms. The main reason I want to get married is for those budget/monetary reasons. You can go ahead and shun the institution all you want but it does have benefits. Why do you think gay couples are fighting so hard for it?

Yes, she wants to get married and take those important steps in life earlier than you do. that doesn't mean that it's doomed. Just because it doesn't work out for some people doesn't mean that it won't work out for her.
