It's true!

That charm works wonders.

OK smarty pants, What is the benefit of marriage excluding tax and estate benefits (which admittedly can be big) and raising kids (which doesn't seem to be the case here)?

Possibly he has very bad taste in women, in which case, I would be worried if he thought I was a good choice. That says something negative about me.

I think it is much more likely that he is an adulterer or an abuser. He's doing something to kill so many marriages.

I'd be exceptionally worried if all those wives died and weren't divorces.

Health insurance. Domestic partners are often not covered.

I think 3 would raise the flag for me for most circumstances. If you cant get it right after 3 tries there has to be some type of issue. I've got two under my belt so I don't think I need to try again.

In my opinion, marriage is extremely important, if you want a long-term, committed relationship. It's far too easy to just walk out the door if you aren't married. I believe that people will actually work harder to address issues when they come up, in a marriage. Not a always true of course, but I think it applies in most cases. Divorce is complex and often painful....and no one gets married expecting to get divorced. We get married because we want to be together permanently....even though that isn't always the end result. Also, getting married sort of proclaims to the world that "Hey I love this person and I want to spend my life with them...so much that I am willing to put it down right here on paper!". That may not mean much to you, but it means an awful lot to many others.

Even though I personally have no desire to marry again, I am a huge believer in it, and if you want to have children, I think it's even more important.
