Osito said "more stable." Marriage is more stable than cohabitation, yes.
I'm curious.....how does a marriage license affects a couple and child's everyday living? Does that child carry around a marriage certificate to school and get free lunch or something? Does the wife or husband use that marriage certificate to get a dollar off gas at the pump?

Nope it does not affect them that way. But the benefits of marriage for insurance, tax credits, social security, etc.
Plus the child/ren with an invisible ink 'illegitimate' stamp on their forehead, those are the ones to consider to marry or not to marry if you want kids.

So it's all about money? Makes sense.
Love, commitment, stability and good parenting does not come from a piece of paper.

As I said to Osito earlier, "more difficult to leave" means "less likely to leave." It's not a big leap. I'm not sure what you are really asking about school lunches and gas prices, so if you take issue with what I have said let's keep it in context.

No. Marriage does not mean less likely to leave. Get it through your head. And if the point you're really trying to make is that it's harder to leave therefore marriage is better, you're out of your mind. In that case, all it does is make everything harder on everybody than it has to be, unless somebody just runs out first. Marriage does not in any way equal stability. Get it through your head.

Get it through your head it does make it harder to leave.

I disagree. The stats I've seen show that cohabiting is more likely to result in breakup. It makes sense to me. Guys who complain that the piece of paper makes it tougher to leave seem to get it too. Well, usually. Oh well.
