Marriage, to me, is lose-lose.

I don't think it's in human nature to be with just one person for the rest of your life. People grow and change. Your needs/desires will change over time.

Having sex with one person for the rest of your life seems boring. If it was an open marriage where you can still have fun with other people, I'd probably consider it.

Another thing that I dislike about marriage is the laws surrounding it. You basically get punished if your marriage fails. For example, the typical "she got half of everything." Fuck that shit. That ALONE would make it all not worth it.

It might a good relationship and things are smooth sailing for now, but you never know, and that lingering possibility is just way too much of a gamble. If there were laws against that, then I'd be even more inclined to do it.

Really, aside from the tax benefits, it's no different than just having a girlfriend. Common law marriage is for the birds, too. Thank god I don't live in a state that suckers you into "marriage" status. I'd just be more inclined to leave the person once that date approached.
