Yes, I think this is a really useful point. At the moment, when we're both employed and generally have fairly cushy lives, it really doesn't matter that we're married, so I can kind of forget about the financial impact of that. There's a few little things; I essentially benefit from the fact that jack runs a car, and it's quite a bit cheaper for two people to travel as a couple than for two single people. The main difference is that we do have a huge stability advantage that if one of us fell on hard times the other could support them, so I think it's fair to say that we are genuinely better off than two single people on our sort of income.
