You can have property tax benefits, but you lose the ability of having sex with another person for the rest of your life, as this would be a breach of contract in most cases. This is one example. It's not a lottery, it's a give and take situation.I very much doubt people "lose the ability" to have sex with another person, as a lot of people do go on to have affairs, etc.
In any case, there are such things as open marriages, which are perfectly legal. Nobody has yet presented one valid reason why a couple who decide to get married should gain any rights over a couple who do not get married.
