No. Marriage or no marriage if one person doesn't want to make a relationship work, it won't.
Are you taking back your earlier comment, then, that marriage is a piece of paper that makes it harder to leave? I'm not sure how you're not connecting the dots between "harder to leave" and "less likely to leave."

So if you don't live together then it wouldn't be considered marriage? Interesting...
Correct. This is why, beyond never getting married, you should never live with a woman either.
I detailed it earlier in the thread, if you must live with a woman, you set up a lease/sublease agreement so that in the event of legalities, you are her landlord, not her common-law husband.
With marriage rates precipitously declining, the "family" courts need to find a way to extract money from you some other way...hence, common law marriage.

Can you answer the question, or no? What about a legally-binding contract that fails 50% of the time = stability?

They've been conditioned to believe the matrimania-enduced culture where people think marriage is best, marriage is stable, marriage is good, marriage is superior to singlehood, etc., no matter what the statistics actually say.
There's a thread right now from a longtime poster about to divorce her husband. He has abused her and their son for years, and she is initiating. He's the breadwinner. She's the caretaker, and the quality of her life and their kids' will go down. Her big question is how she can afford to get away from him. She's not running off with his children; in fact, she said she plans to stay near him despite how expensive L.A. is.
He knows, he's already posted over there to mock and bully the woman.
LOL. What's the big deal? It seems this thread's discussion has crossover with another one. I see people fighting other posters from their post on another thread.
You guys really crack me up. And that's my MAIN reason for coming here.
Anyway, OP. Were you born yesterday? You are not that first to do what you plan to do. There are loads of couples with kids who are not married. So, uh.. what's your earth shattering dilemma?
Well obviously it is a slow day lately in this forum section huh?
