i know some people will disagree but i am not entirely sure that to show that you love someone you have to have a piece of paper anyway

In that case the economic benefits for married people should be taken away. Why should a same sex couple that has been together for say 30 years not have the same pension rights as mixed sex married people?

It's all fine saying that you don't need the paper to show your love, but there is more to it than the piece of paper.
