It would remove the tax inequity where domestic partner benefit premiums paid by your employer are treated as taxable income, making it unaffordable for most couples to get insurance for one another.
Ie, if the domestic partner premium is $400/mo, and you pay $75 for it and your company pays the $325, that is taxable income for you and you have to pay income taxes on it -- so that $75 premium becomes essentially a $150 premium which it wouldn't do if your spouse was of the opposite sex getting the same benefits.
