One of the reasons to get married is to give legal status to a partner
that they don't otherwise have.


You dont need that with a valid will.


Not legally, no. But there are taxation and practical reasons why it's
advantageous to be married even with a valid will.

Note that a valid will automatically becomes invalid when you get
married. A new will is advisable.
