What? How?

Marriage introduces that possibility and non-marriage doesn't have it

You are assuming that marriage just adds risks ("possibility of a personal catastrophe") without eliminating other risks.

I think the risk is indeed not worth it. And as far as practical things go, marriage is just a simple contract; I'd guess that you can live happily without it, too

Define practical things.

I think the risk is indeed not worth it.

Sure, but is that anything more than your personal opinion?

marriage is just a simple contract

That is very clearly false.
