    Getting married or having a life partner as in, living with one person as long as you are into them. I know that if you truely love someone then you should get married, but sometimes I would rather just live with that person and go out with them for as long as I want. Kinda like a Jim and Pam thing except the guy doesnt have sex with every girl he meets.

    Ultimately.. to me marriage is just a piece of paper and if I'm really truly in love with someone and want to be with him, I don't need a piece of paper to prove that I'm completely commited to him. We can be life partners with or without that piece of paper.

    Having said that though.. I do want to get married someday. :p

    also with amrrige you get benifits accosiated with it...such as: not being denied acces to a spouse in hospital, if you do not work and they are injured then you get more money, you can get their benifits [health care etc] if they work for the government [well most companies do it too]...

    i dont really care too much theough, but i mean, lasting a marrige without divorce nowadays does say something about your love to the person

    Marriage doesn't matter to me at all.... however, if I were to be married so I could enjoy all those benefits you get with it, it would have to be with someone I could see myself with for the rest of my life.

    Marraige wouldn't matter at all to me, as long as both people are competant to have enough sense. :p But yes, having each other's healthcare and benefits would help, but love isn't about that shit...

    im indifferent.
    id get married i suppose. and then again, i might not get married and remain with one person for the rest of my life.
    for some reason a piece of paper provides a great sense of security to many people.
    i say love and trust should ultimately make you feel secure in a relationship. but eh, what do i know.

    yeah, being married is really only a piece of paper saying that you're together, but there are benifits to it as well. i want to get married someday, but i wanna make sure it's totally right before i go doing it.
    peace & love.

    Being married might suck. :D Because you're like "can I buy some handcream" "No, you can't by handcream, it's on sale at shitty's dept. store" "fuck you..." "fuck you too" "fuck you harder" "I wanna divorce"


    and shit.

    Why should you get married to them??? because society says so?? You do what's right for you, if you want to get married, if you don't then don't... just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to go along with some artificial justification of acceptance to a largely not giving a fuck world.. I personally don't have much care for marrage, but I am not against it. Marrage very often causes a good relationship to go wrong, once that process has taken place people can feel they no longer need to try or work at a relationship, a false sense of completion takes place... love and the enjoyment of each other is what makes a relationship secure not a piece of paper issued by strangers.

    marriage is just a way of getting screwed over if it all goes wrong. if it all goes right, why the need for marriage in the first place!

    I'd rather have a life partner if anything.
    I'm kinda not digging relationships at all at the moment.
