As we had no intention of having children my partner and I decided not to go through another marriage fest - I really can't see why we should pay a government fee or hire a celebrant to "legalise" a personal commitment. We are protected by law here and a good will can provide for property to go to my partner. We have been together for nearly 18 years, a lot longer than many people who go through a formal ceremony. For younger couples having children there may be some incentive, but for older couples it should be optional.
