What are the pros and cons of getting married?

I lived my life swearing I would never get married, after seeing my parents collectively fail through 6 miserable marriages.
But the one I love lives outside the US, and I want/need for us to live together as soon as possible, so I guess getting married would massively expedite the process.

Beyond immigration, what are the aspects of marriage that need to be taken into consideration? Mostly from an economic/legal kind of standpoint, I guess.

We are certain to not have kids ever so that's not a factor.

Well you can either get married so they can live with you in the US sooner, or you can not get married and wait longer. I wouldn't recommend marrying someone without having lived together for a significant period of time however

I know it sounds weird, but for the sake of my mental health I honestly can't wait more than a few more years. It's been long enough as is. But I also already know we'd be fine living together, so that's not an issue really.

Get a prenup. Problems solved. Anything beyond that can be a problem you encounter with even a gf.

Also, get marriage counseling if you ever want a divorce. It helped my ex wife and I understand each other well enough to end the relationship amicably. No alimony, no arguing over who gets what, etc.
