Yes but it also brings in responsibility and legal problems. There are laws which force couples to stay together even if one or both of the partners want to walk out. I don't want to fall into nitty gritties of who is at fault or the outcomes of failed mairriage- one big thing is that it is waste of life if one has to stay forcibly into a relationship which he or she does not enjoy anymore just because of legal formalities. No one wants to waste precious years of life in courtroom battle for divorce if mairrage fails. So better is live in relationship and what differencer does it make whether you have a government approval or not to stay together till the time they are commited to each other.

I don't know your laws.

And yes the economic advantage that one can claim half of the hubby's wealth inspite of walking away of relationship- MAKES GREAT SENSE TO GET MARRIED- GREAT INCENTIVE BY LAW

I think you got me wrong.

I have been married and stayed married for 15yrs for the sake of my children. I would not marry again. If you love a person i don't think you need to marry to prove that point and if you marry for the 'protection ' it is supposed to bring that is the wrong reason in the first place. If a marriage doesn't work out and gets to a divorce the only people that win are the lawyers, with there fat costs cashing in on others unhapiness. jmo

You don't walk away with half your husbands wealth in all cases, please don't generalize

Hi Morgan

Ho bren, hope your ok

They tend to live together and stay single because it's more acceptable now. There is no pressure to get married unless there is a legitimate reason behind it...i.e. children, immigration, religion, medical/insurance benefits, future inheritance for kids, spousal benefits.

There is one area that does not seem to have been covered here.

In bothe scenarios, wether leglly married or cohabiting, it means that two people are to share all of thier time together.

There are those, like myself, who opt to have thier own space and time, i.e. stay single for the sake of enjoying being so.

I have been in both marriage, and co-habitation. I was living as single before I got married, and again aftr that. And I prefer it that way.

Living with someone is a choice.

Marrying someone is a commitment. It works if both parties are working towards the same goals. Mostly that of raising a family together. Otherwise, don't get married

I personally definately would not get married again. Too many legal complications.

Living together single may also be for economic reason, one household, one rent/mortgage, 1-2 cars, instead of splitting up the finances and having 2 different homes, 3 cars, a van and a
jeep, commuting all that distance and visiting in between.:
