> My success is my wife's success.

What about your failures ? What if you end up commiting a crime, will your wife have share in that ?

> * ... driving licence ... company laws ... *

Except (AFAIK) none of these has ever resulted in 50% of someones wealth/future-wealth/ip being "awarded" to someone else.

> Also, other than legalizing no-fault divorce and expanding marriage to same-sex couples, what are the changes that states could make which are so scary to you?

Beside legislative branch, judiciary also gets to set precedents as it go.

> Sharing wealth 50/50 in the case of divorce is not some new thing.

It was new when first time it happened. Since it could not have been in marriage contract or constitution. It must have been made up by courts.

Absolutely. Heres one fucked up example. You thought of an idea; get married; divorced; you implement the idea/make money off it;. Goodluck cause now state gets to decide how much ip-right/money should the ex-spouse get.

> If you don't like the terms, don't sign the sheet.

There are no terms on the sheet (marriage licence). State makes up rules as it go.
