[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I could have the same life we currently have even if we weren't married. That said, for me, there is something to being married that makes the whole more than the sum of its parts. Honestly, I'm not sure I would feel the same way if we didn't have kids. We dated for years before getting engaged in our mid-30s, and we did so in part because we wanted a family and thought it would be "easier" if we were married. I can probably only say this through hindsight, but if I had decided not to have kids I could have quite happily lived on my own and maintained my own residence, finances, etc. without ever getting married. Frieda Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived in two separate residences connected by a bridge and that sounds pretty perfect to me.[/quote]
