Am I falsely assuming that the institution of marriage costs tax payer money? Certainly all those judges, larger IRS and divorces cost something.

What if everyone could choose to be "married" as you put it but it wasn't institutionalized. What if you got the piece of paper saying you were married but the gov't just ignored it from a legal perspective?

What would that harm?
