The marriage certificate matters very much. If you live together "as married," when you die, if you die childless, your property goes to your parents and your siblimgs. If you have children, all your property goes to your children.

None of it to your partner.

If you live together "as married," when you retire, there are no survivor's benefits, so the retirement benefits cease on the death.

If you live together "as married", you can't get family insurance coverage.

On and on.

I am aware that a small number of states are changing the law, but only a few, and not very much. Certainly not Virginia.
