It means raising a family, living together, being together exclusively and growing old together.
Why live together if the two of you are not going to marry? Just find a woman that wants a father (and I mean father in the strictest sense i.e. contributing financially and emotionally to the well being of the child). I see no point in putting up with the whining, complaining, lack of accountability, nit pickyness and overall emotional roller coaster of a woman unless you're going to get married.
Correct but Vowing to do all of this in front of friends and family makes a commitment to yourself and your partner.
You also sign a contract in front of a judge with witness at the courthouse, but that hasn't helped reducing the many divorces from happening today.
The OP doesn't want to get married....period!!!!!! People should just respect that. And it's not a requirement to make babies. There's a lot of single divorced patents on here. Are people saying their child's situation is unstable, and their kids are going to be raised all f*cked up?
GUY to self: (after multiple sessions of mind-blowing sex utilizing all the furniture in the house, the car's back seat, and even some semi-public locales over weeks/months): OMG, she's SO HOT! She's so sweet! She's so cool! How am I gonna keep her around? What if she falls for someone else?
(cogitate, cogitate. Scratches head)
Guy to girl: Will you move in with me?
Girl: I don't know. What do you have to offer?
Guy: An engagement ring! Marriage! Please, I can't live without you! Don't make me grovel!
Girl: hmm... OK.
