Atheists. Why are you,or would you get married?

My ex girlfriend was interested in getting married. I told her I would, but that it wouldn’t mean anything ( yeah, romantic. )
I loved her. Wouldn’t believe in the religious aspects of it. To me it would have been just a piece of paper, and some tax benefits.

The only reason I considered, was because it seemed important to her. To me it was a potentially messy entanglement. She herself had just gotten divorced, and it was a terrible process.
