The piece of paper can change things – taxes, insurance costs, etc. However, you need to decide if you love this person – if you want to spend your lives together. Good *** is wonderful – but it shouldn’t be the reason you get married.

Marriage is a paper that decrees you will sleep with only one person… You can live with your beloved without marriage, its a personal choice. One golden ring will just bring a ceremony and legal stuff… If there is turst and love, the rest is just procedure and its unnecessary up to you…

Thats a question you have to answer for yourself.

you will get tax breaks, insurance benefits, and the other person will be held responsible in making decisions in the event you are unable to…. remember terri shiavo, her husband says they discussed what she would want if she was incapacitated, and there was that whole big deal. well, if you’re married the person you’re married to should know what you would want, and carry out your wishes.
plus, you get to have a kick a$$ party

marriage is not a piece of paper, it is a promise before god family friends and eachother to love support and be best friends forever

Its probably not going to change anything. If youre not religious and theres no kids involved, I would just carry on and enjoy it….

If neither of you are bothered about getting married, then don’t bother. If your significant other wants to and you’re not bothered then ask yourself this:- Will it hurt you to get married more that it hurts them to not get married ? I had exactly this situation and in the end I got married because my wife really wanted to. I can’t say it’s changed us in any way, but she’s happy we got married.
Whatever you chose to do, best of luck!

It is not just a piece of paper, it is a commitment. Despite the rapid rise in divorce, those looking into getting married still consider it “till death do we part”. It all depends on if you love the person enough to make the commitment to stay with them. As long as you are not married you can brake up and other than the broken hearts there will be no mess. But if you commit to marriage you feel obligated to at least try and work things out.

A marriage is a far greater commitment than any other arrangement between a couple.
Nowadays divorce is no major issue but still, getting separated is way more complicated once you are married. You can’t just walk out the door anytime you feel like it.
For me personally, marriage changed a lot.
I’m not just staying with my partner because we are married but the fact that we are, makes me work much harder to keep our relationship strong and healthy.
If I wasn’t married, I probably wouldn’t be as committed as I am.

Consider that the divorce rate is much higher for those who live together before marriage. Why should that be if it’s “just a piece of paper”?
Because, of course, it is NOT just a piece of paper. That paper is part of a legal act — a public commitment or contract you undertake. That of itself tends to make people take the act more seriously. (Now not every society has sealed marriages in precisely this way, but they have other means, such as public rituals and actions that all recognize as making that binding commitment.)
Frankly, *** WITHOUT the willingness to make such a commitment is a lie — it pretends to be giving somebody what is most precious, but without any real promises. Good way for someone(s) to get seriously hurt in the end. We aren’t made to operate like that.
