I've been engaged to my girlfriend for just over 2 years, together for over 10 years. We're deeply committed to each other and spoken about it at length and both feel that marriage can't offer us any more than we already have. The only reason we'd have to get married is if she got pregnant (for the child's sake), and even then she only wants something small... VERY close friends and family only... on a beach somewhere, dress code of shorts and sandals... that kind of thing.
Perhaps our opinions will change in years to come... perhaps not...
