Still makes no sense why you would have to pay the state to prove your love. I'm confident in my relationship. We decided to get rings, but don't paper to make it solid, We know it's solid
pretty much what the poster above you said. Why does one need the gov't to tell them what the status is of their relationship? I know more people who had success being married after years of living together than those who dated for years, then got married.
I think it depends on the people, if both people are happy together without getting married, then thats cool, if they both feel that they want the ceremony thats cool too. I am a little old fashioned in the sense of marriage, mainly because even though I was married once, I never got the whole white dress, walk down the isle, throw the bouquet type of wedding....dont know if I ever will but its something that I think about.
You don't even have to get married to take the same last name. Everyone is allowed an alias.
I think the younger people get married because they were raised to believe that when you're inlove with someone and vise versa, that getting married is right thing to do. I think that sometimes marriage ruins a relationship. But others it makes their relationships stronger.
If I find my soul mate, I might marry him. Then again I might not. Only time will tell.
I don't know, but I did enjoy being married. But of course it was with someone who was very boring and didn't want to do anything fun. So, that's kind of why I'm very picky these days.
