Marriage all the way. I won't have it any other way if I want to spend the rest of my life with someone.

We think like.

No cases cause even if it's City Hall it's a must.

 

I don not believe in marriage,..

Marriage is Extreamly Important (at least to me)!!!

Me personally would never accept a common-law or lets be b/f - g/f forever with any guy. If you can live with me then you sure hell are marrying me. To me it is about Respect & if you say you "love me" then it shouldn't be a problem.

Being married, this response should have some sort of credibility.

So is it just a piece of paper? literaly Yes. And a huge a$$ bill later.
But i'm not saying either that i regret being married. I would have had no problem dating my hubby longer, hell why not be bf & gf forever? but it was my hubby who wanted to make the next step.
when he proposed i was like "are you for real? are you sure?"

Having said that, you can't possibly have a good view of marriage if you're already thinking how much it would suck and be a royal drag to get a divorce YOU'RE NOT EVEN MARRIED YET?!

Yes, marriage is not for everyone, and i don't see anything wrong with living with your significant other out of wedlock. I would have done it, if my hubby would have liked it that way.

I didn't marry because i needed social/economical/emotional security.
It was because he is my best friend.
And really, he had quite the courage to want to marry me.

I am a person who does not care for what things are called, or what they look like. I am a pragmatist. I truly don’t care about the world recognizing my relationship with a woman, because I think that the substance of it simply depends on me and her, and I don’t need a piece of paper to prove it. People change and at this point of my life I can't sign a contract and promise to a woman all those cheese things forever. The only reason why poeple cares about marriage is because of the legal protection it gives.

I don't think that it does anymore. Common-law partens have the same rights as husband/wife. And if you are talking about possesions and properties within the relathionship , you can make a will to protect yourself and your partner.

For me Marriage is a piece of paper. It won't change , improve or bring anything else to your relationship than what you already have.

Alright guys I wanna know what you think. I went out to dinner on Friday and everyone started talking about marriage and divorce. Divorce rate's and common-law living are going up, so how important is marriage to you? Does loving someone, but not wanting to marry them make you a bad person?  Can you live happy for ever without that piece of paper that confirms you matrimony? I for one believe in marriage, and that if you really love someone you should eventually do it. What do you guys think?

       IF U WOULD OF ASKED ME THIS QUESTION FIVE YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE SAID OMG MARRIAGE IS A MUST AND IT JUST UNIFIES U MORE AND BLA BLA BLA!! HOWEVER AFTER A DIVORCE UNDER MY BELT ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK GOD I DIDNT HAVE KIDS!

     TO BE HONEST TODAY I THINK THAT ITS GREAT WHAT ME AND ORALE HAVE I DONT FEEL THE NEED TO GET MARRIED I LIKE THINGS HOW THEY ARE EVENTUALLY WE PROBABLY WILL BUT IM TALKING ABOUT YEARS FROM NOW AND THATS IF WE DO DECIDED TO DO IT BUT FOR RIGHT NOW WE LOVE BEING COMMON LAW CHANGES NOTHING.

LOL LB!! That's why the keyword is HOPE ... jijiji

Y por eso no rushing for me!!

@God: umm, I don't think they feel it will improve anything if they marry ... maybe it's just for stability sake ... I dunno

I hate this topic, this is what I am asked all the time by everyone.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 10 years, and everytime we meet his family or my family its always the same, What are you guys waiting for? Why don't you get married? and questions about why? why? why?

I mean we don't think is necessary, I live with my mom and my sister and he lives with his family, we are ok like this.  Is that so hard to understand?

I do want to get married but I hate when people push you or ask too much questions about it.  I do believe is only a piece of paper, I mean how many people get married and last less than 2 years? a lot.

I guess it depends on how you feel about the word "marriage"

Anyway that is my opinion

Yesi

I totally agree with LB ... it's a matter of love and respect .. if both parties involved are ok with their situation and they don't want to marry then itz all cool ...

And yes it's a traditional mindset, I would want to marry if the time will come but not worried nor rushing into it ... I hope that if I do get married itz a one time thing ...

I THINK IT'S MORE TRADITION THAN COMMITMENT.....AND FOR WOMEN MORE OF A FAIRY TALE COME TRUE......

 

REALISTICALLY SPEAKING......COMMON LAW MARRIAGES ARE JUST AS DEEP, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS THAT FEAR AND UNSTABLENESS OF THE OTHER PERSON LEAVING.....

AND THE WHOLE "MARRIAGE IS FOREVER" DEAL IS SO PLAYED OUT THESE DAYS ANYWAY.....
