Okay, I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. My boyfriend and I are living together and planning our life together, right? Well, we both plan on spending the rest of our lives together in a marriage situation. I would like to get married and he is not sure. He feels like marriage is degrading and that we dont need a piece of paper and someone to legally define love for us. I agree, but I don't define marriage that way. I think it's a cool way to express your love and commitment for another person. I also know that in order for my family to accept the fact that we are living together and in order to take us seriously and stop giving us a hard time, it has to happen eventually. That last reason isn't the main reason I would like to be married though. Is there some sort of compromise we could come to or does anyone have any ideas or advice?
Marriage is scary to some people, I being one of them.. Maybe he just isnt quite ready yet. Although I know how badly you want to get married and such, you should respect that he isnt ready yet and that he is honest about it and not just marrying you cause you are ready..That way when he is ready it will be that special and mean that much more... Who cares if people give you a hard time about living together without being married, you shouldnt let other people run your life, and tell this isnt the 50's anymore... Marriage is a serious thing and not something to rush into...
