It is not always necessary to marry in order to get legal protections. Many couples, gay and heterosexual, prefer not to marry, but they can still get legal protections in many areas.

"Many (though not all) of the rights, privileges, and protections that married couples receive are also available to people in unmarried relationships, although for unmarried relationships they don't happen automatically. People in unmarried relationships can work with a lawyer to prepare the documents listed below, or use one of several excellent do-it-yourself legal guides. Many lawyers advise people in unmarried relationships to prepare (explanations for each are below):

1. A durable power of attorney for healthcare (or healthcare proxy)
2. A living together (or domestic partnership) agreement
3. A will
4. A durable power of attorney for financial management"
