[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, think about why it's important for you to be married. Many of us would not agree that it's ideal. You have the ideal, in our minds. Can you explain? If it's at-all re: financial security, make sure you are very honest with yourself that that is your reason.[/quote]

It’s not about money as in earnings. We are both high earners and I make just a bit more if you count my bonuses. But it sure does seem silly that we spend so much time together and support two households. Two mortgages, two sets of bills, etc. Both of us are very financially stable with lots of growth potential in our careers, but we also have lots of kids to put through college and it seems wasteful to spend money supporting two houses when we could be saving more.

Add to that, that we genuinely all like each other a lot and want to spend time together and it really compounds the craziness of two houses. [b]Our kids (even the teens) are always begging for the other’s kids to hang out[/b]. [/quote]

It's very, very hard on children when their parents remarry.  Maintain your peace and own family culture until your kids are out of the house.  After that, do what you want.

Saving money is a terrible reason to marry, or for that matter to live together.[/quote]
