Watching a doc on Iceland and they are showing how 2/3 of babies born in Iceland are born out of wedlock and how Icelanders view marriage with more practicality than I think most people do.

This next excerpt is from the link below it

Beyond legal protection, marriage does not hold more meaning to the couple. “For me getting married is basically just a good opportunity to celebrate the relationship for one day, and throw a party,” Halli says. “I don’t think our relationship is going to change in any way.”

Þorbjörg and Halli are committed to each other, whether they are married or not. “We’ve done the commitment part by having kids together. That kind of says ‘you’ll be in my life forever,’ Þorbjörg says.

Throughout their relationship, Þorbjörg has had higher salary than Halli most of the time. “I’m not dependent on him for anything, except for him, I want to be with him. But I don’t need his insurance or money,” she says. “There’s nothing that marriage would give me that he has.”
