hehehe.
Actually - this marriage question is one I have. And I'm in a great partnership right now that has been going on about 4 years. Sometimes I really want to marry him. Other times, I ask myself - but why? No matter what, we're going to have THIS partnership if things go how we'd prefer them to. We have a house, we contribute evenly in most ways.
Don't I already have it all without the paper?
It's hard. I can't even answer this for myself fully, yet  |
I think you already do have it all. Congratulations!
Seriously though, I would only get married in a situation where either a) I was having children or b) one of us was economically dependent on the other. I want a more traditional relationship, meaning I'll only work part-time or not at all if I can write for a living instead, and since I'd be financially dependent on him, I'd want to protect myself. And of course, some people just REALLY like the idea of marriage and making that commitment to each other. So I would say, unless you have a very solid reason for getting married, don't. Or get hitched in Vegas - save some money on the wedding
