You don't HAVE to get married, ya know. It's just tradition, nothing more.

People are ALWAYS asking me, "So when ya getting married?!" as if I'm expected to do it... to which I usually respond: "Probably never." My girlfriend understand this as I told her from the start that I don't believe in marriage. Does it mean our relationship isn't as serious? Nope, not at all.

If you guys love each other enough to spend the rest of your lives together, then just do it. Why do you need a piece of paper legally binding you as a husband & wife to reinforce that?

People are always growing and changing mentally. If you grow and change together in a positive way, then perfect! If not, and you aren't happy in the relationship, you can go your own separate ways. Divorce is costly and messy. If you weren't married to begin with, it's not as complicated.

..and for what, a piece of paper binding you as a couple?
