I would disagree, most people would say why bother. Another issue would be children under marriage. One parent would probably say um no thanks, so the ramifications might get worse. Marriage rates have been trending downwards over the years, and what I would suspect is this might accelerate it to a barely ever done.

Another issue is with a sick partner…

But to be honest, I thought about this in the past but it was never thought of as a way to strengthen it.
