That said, I wasn't ready for marriage until I was in my 30's. At 33 she managed to sink her claws into me. I'm happy 5 years later but she's the one I need, I don't need that piece of paper telling the govt. we're married. She did so I acquiesced.

In addressing this I am 27 and My wife is 21 we have a Son. Being Married was the only way to Legally protect BOTH of them should I die while working. Many comapanies still do not acknowldge Domestic Partnership even if it is a Hetrosexual relationship.
Marriage is a State of mind as well because my wife and I are Poly and in that we are open additional relationships INSIDE our marrige where we basically have a partner who is involved with both of us.
Some consider this cheating or sexual perversion we know that we love each other and enjoy the company, sexual and otherwise, of another partner.
Marriage is in my opinion simply taken too lightly these days when people get married just to show they want to be with one another then divorce just as easily because they can. I think marriage should come with MUCH more responsibility.
Just my two cents on the situation.
