How, exactly?

Marriage was a concept that was so ingrained in society that government ended up wanting/needing a way to officially integrate with it, not the other way around. My wife and I do everything together, so it'd be nice if the government realized that too. 

Long story short I want her to have legal authority on my behalf, but legal authority is the business of government, so we need a tool for that. Thats not how all marriages works, but its the easiest way for it to work for the majority of people.
