My girlfriend and I were talking about marriage, now we know that it is not like any other marriage. But what I am wondering is if we get married, can we share benefits etc?

Benefits like "insurance "

First it will all depend where you live, same sex marriage is not accepted universally

Yes insurance, and sorry for not mentioning, I live in jersey.

now we know that it is not like any other marriage. Hello J:

Couple things... If you live in a state that recognizes gay marriage, it IS just like any other marriage. If you don't, you can't GET married.

From my understanding, jersey you can, so from what I gather, we can share benefits once married? That's the part that confuses me the most.

Well, I'm confused about what you mean by "sharing" benefits... Married people don't "share" benefits. Being married gives a spouse lots of benefits that roommates don't have. I'd Google marriage rights in New Jersey and see what you come up with...
