I am very interested in removing the importance of marriage as a legal category</>
You all need to move to Quebec. So fast. That's been taken care of for 20 years. Fewer than 20% of all couples (all flavours) get married. Ever. I only got married because I did not have time to wait for the 2-years-living-together-for-the-official-couple-regognition thing to pass. And the law's changed since then anyway. I would not have gotten married to Stéphane otherwise. We'd be together, but not married.
