[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been divorced for seven years and had no intention of getting remarried.  I’m secure, have a good career, great friend and hobbies that keep me busy.  I dated casually until I met a great man who I still had no intention of marrying.  After several years together I’m starting to change my mind.  If I do get remarried it’ll be strictly for practical reasons.  My eventual retired health insurance is better than his, and his eventual retirement money is better than mine.  We will both have pensions and survivor money would be left on the table if we weren’t married.  We both still intend for our premarital estates to go to our own kids and the assets are in our own trusts.  Prenup is TBD.  Added bonus is that I just enjoy every second we’re together.

I think it goes from being an emotional decision when you’re younger to a practical one.  [/quote]

This is where we're at. Paperwork or not, we plan to be together for good. We've each set up trusts for the kids, own our own houses, etc. Because our kids still live at home and we live in different states, it makes no sense for us to marry right now. But we have several unwritten "emergencies" that we've discussed that would get us to marry because it would be silly NOT to. The biggest is health coverage - mine is better than his. He's also a few years older than I am and has a family history of heart issues. If something big happened health-wise to him, we'd be at the courthouse immediately. Otherwise, we play it by ear. There's no getting around that marriage allows you to take care of each other in ways that are harder to come by otherwise.   [/quote]
