Happy Valentine’s Day? Or Single’s Awareness Day?

On this holiday of (corporatized?) romance, we examine the question of whether or not it is better to be single or in a relationship?  Do societal expectations surrounding partnership push people into "situationships" that are unhealthy and inauthentic? What about marriage?  Should governments be incentivizing people to enter into these lifelong bonds or should we perhaps end state recognition of marriage altogether?
