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]

Marriage absolutely strengthens a commitment if done right. Premarital counseling. Standing up before God, family and friends and promising to love, honor and cherish the other person. That's why marriages are done formally - to strengthen and acknowledge an increased commitment level.[/quote]

For me that is a horse/pony show.  Do you really need all that to love someone?  At that moment does something change after having a wedding?  No.

It is nothing more than tradition and religious based.  That is what we have been taught from early on.  Good thing I can look beyond the nonsense and realize what is truly important in a relationship.[/quote]

It's not nonsense. It gives you the strength not to give up when things get hard, and gives you public support right from the get go. Marriage is about much more than romantic love, it's the joining of two families.[/quote]

I get that from not being married.  All of our friends and family give us support and acknowledge our relationship.
Why do you need approval?[/quote]

I want approval from my family and his. [/quote]

It sucks that they won't give you approval without marriage.  Our families give us approval because they know we make each other happy.[/quote]
