Nice one, Yesta! you have added a good point - to get married. It would definitely make a lot of feedback.

Financially is to have a partner then the burden of living expenses can be borne by both partners, especially for those who have a working wife.

As a freelancer it would be a very helpful factor - in terms of uncertainty of income, sometimes more and sometimes a lot - especially if you have a wife fixed income. haha
