[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only get married if its benefits you in someway .[/quote]

Well, I love my fiancee and want to commit to a life together in a meaningful way in front of our family and friends. Plus, we want to start a family. But this is coming at a very real cost that will impact our financial future.

It's a bit odd, but it is what it is. [/quote]

Have the marriage ceremony in front of family and friends with a religious component if that is important to you both. Just don't register the marriage.

Being "legally" married which comes with the process of registration is when you are viewed as married for tax and other purposes. I know a couple who actually got divorced because the marriage penalty was so severe. But nothing else changed in their lives as a couple and very few of their friends and acquaintances even know that they are legally not married.

The one thing to keep in mind is that if you both decide to split up down the line, the split of assets and liabilities will not be governed by the rules and rights that are accorded to married couples in most states ....... since you are both just living together from a legal standpoint.[/quote]
