I am legally married because I need the legal and financial benefits that marriage provides in my country. However, in an ideal fantasy world, I wouldn’t need those benefits and I wouldn’t be legally married. But I would still be married! Just without government involvement. (BTW I have no interest in raising kids.)
It’s normal for people to hear “marriage” and think “legal marriage” but I hate that.
Um, I dunno. I’m just referring to that fact that I don’t have my own source of health insurance, so I need to be on his, but in an ideal world I would have my own.

Can you clarify what you mean by “need,” here? In particular, does it mean something different than “benefit from”?
