So, you don't marry, because you assume the relationship will end, and it's easier to end a cohabiting situation?[/quote]

Personally I don't marry because I don't see the benefits of it.  I am with a person because I want to be with them.  I commit to them because I love them, not because I'm legally tied to them.  The easy split is just a possible benefit if it comes to that.

Others want to marry and gain the benefits from that.  That is their choice.

My opinion comes from they way I look at things.  And in this situation I step back and say WHY do I need to get married?  And there really aren't any reasons that make sense to me because marriage doesn't strengthen a commitment IMO.[/quote]

Are you saving jointly for retirement? Do you have children together? Are you building something beyond the emotional relationship between the two of you?[/quote]

I'm the PP and not the OP.  So I'll answer the questions since you quoted my post.

Saving jointly?  We are no longer together.  And we did not save jointly.  We had individual savings.  And before you go on about "Married couples wouldn't do that bla bla", we did have some combined finances.  But liked to keep our savings separated for reasons that mattered to us.  Both had 401ks which you can't exactly join.

Children.  Yes

Beyond emotional. Obviously.  We had kids.  We were a family.[/quote]
