Paperwork 

Satan's way of saying, "I love you!"

Pssh. The first definition of Satan is good. And so is mine, which is on the second page, the twelfth one, s0n.

paperwork marriage

A marriage that is for the sole purpose of one or both of the participants to gain benefits that would not be available outside of marriage to each other--quite often for immigration or health insurance purposes as opposed to marrying for love/lust. Very common in the military as unmarried soldiers are required to live in the barracks.

Soldier 1: Man, I hate living in the barracks.
Soldier 2: If you got a paperwork marriage you wouldn't have to live in the barracks. Just keep your shit separate from hers and you're gold.
