we get married to prove to the world that we love each other that much... that's a stupid thing to do, IMO... We could do everything a married couple could do WITHOUT getting married.. it's just a piece of paper and a pair of expensive rings.
Eh?
Good question you have there. Actually, I don't really know what the point of it. :smh: Oh well.
But, IMO, I feel safe and sound when I'm married "officially." Another reason I want to be married, is that if I die, or my husband dies, the survivor gets the money and takes a custody of the children, automatically, unless someone else wants to fight for it.
My biological mother is living with her partner for almost 7 years, and they plan not to get married, because it's almost like peice of paper work and rings to them. I don't blame them. They do almost everything together like a married couple, and I can see their point.
If you want to just live together as a couple without marriage, I won't go against or for you. I guess it's everyone's different opinions. Tell me yours, any other married members?
