Medium, She Said Yes!

She made me understand the magic of marriage. — Marriage can be seen as an investment in some countries since it brings some fiscal benefits. However, in Portugal, a regular couple that has been together for a while ends up benefiting from the same fiscal benefits as a married couple. I’m the atypical hopeless romantic that never saw marriage…
