Marriage?

Yeah, coz human beings never do meaningless things, do they?
The point is, lifelong commitments don't require marriage (and marriage is no guarantee of a lifelong commitment). Would you say that a lifelong commitment meant nothing until marriage was invented?
Would you say that without Pete Best the Beatles were a lesser act?
I didn't realise we were playing refute points in a quoted post that I've completely imagined.

2 past long-term partners of mine just turned on a sixpence completely unexpectedly so you're probably right.

Been together now for 13 years and still not married 
it works for us. Depends on your outlook on life, neither us being religious we cant really see the point, if we did decide to get married it will be in a far flung place of the world without the word "GOD" being invoked.
Do what feels right for you, however being in the forces and not being married will be difficult as you don't get any benefits.
Bear in mind, women and men are like milk and wine. i.e the older woman get the more sour they become. She already has 5 years on you

Don't really see much point in marriage tbh, it isn't going to change the relationship only how it is viewed legally.
Saying that there is still the showing commitment side of it as well as some legal benefits. Will at some point likely propose to my girlfriend, though the actual getting married part will just be done in the local registry office and then celebrated with a meal out with family.

I appear to be the odd one out here, but I got married at the age of 20 to my girlfriend of 3 years. We pretty much knew withing the first few months that we would get hitched. That was 23 years ago,and we now have three kids aged 20, 18 and 14, and are still very happy.
