Nah. There's no real reason to marry. It's a weak security blanket at best.

There's no good reason for marriage. But I don't get the "I'll just live with someone" crowd, either. I think "co-habitating" is a much bigger security blanket. It's for those who understandably don't believe in marriage but are too chicken to live alone.
It's the monotony of living together that kills relationships, after all, not the little piece of paper.

Ok. If you want to pick out things I didn't bring up to begin with have at it. I'm not going to argue with you because I don't care. I never said there weren't benefits to being married and no one else has either.
ETA: actually someone might have said that. I didn't though. I stopped paying attention to this when I went to watch the game.
Im sure I just imagined the post I quoted. Enjoy the game.
I don't think there is a reason for anyone, man, woman or beast, to marry in this day and age. If you do have a long term partner, be smart about making sure your assets are ready to go to them if you pass away. Otherwise, marriage is outdated and frankly silly. But I have been shouted down about that opinion MANY times by the baby boomer contingent in this forum

If two people live together, its probably because they want to.
Seriously. Marriage is such a sham. It's for folks who need attention and need a title to feel secure.
Exactly. Nothing wrong with having a life partner and a simple will or trust can take care a lot of your legal matters regarding real property once you die without your SO having to go through probate even if you aren't legally married.
There's no reason for this man to marry. I wouldn't do it if you put a gun to my head.
The rest of you can do whatever makes you happy, though I'd appreciate it very much if you didn't invite me to the weddings or act superior because you've made a decision I wouldn't.
