Decide What Is Best For You and Your Partner
Given all of the above issues and factors, spend some serious time with your partner considering same-sex marriage legal pros and cons. If you plan on raising kids and you're ok with taking on the other partner's debts, then getting married may make sense. On the other hand, if you don't necessarily want to be burdened with the other person's debts or institutional marriage just isn't for you, then it may not be right for you.
Following the Court's Obergefell decision, same-sex marriage carries all of the same rights and responsibilities as for straight married couples. But if you were previously married or have some legal issues to iron out following the decision, you may want to meet with a family lawyer who specializes in same-sex legal issues who is familiar with the marriage laws in your state.
