Why marry? If you're not married, you just leave each other and it's cool. Who needs the paper? To me it means nothing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Marriage is an attempt to solve problems together which you didn't even have when you were on your own.
Millions of people are married. I've never picked up a paper and seen a headline that says, Man Gets Married!
What is fascinating about marriage is why anyone wants to get married.
I've been with the same person for a very long time but I'm just non-conventional in that way. I don't think people need to be married. I think a lot of people need that piece of paper, but I don't think everybody needs that to feel secure.
I've never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure.
I believe in the institution of marriage and it's like a tag to cement the relationship for your friends, family and public.
A lasting marriage, they say, is one where the two reach for different sections of the Sunday paper. Me, I go right for the obituaries, just like those very elderly characters in Muriel Spark's spooky novel, 'Memento Mori.'
For me, marriage is about love, not paperwork. I've never been the kid who dreamed of the big white dress, the long veil, the fancy diamond ring.
Marriage is an institution and that's where a couple finish up.
Marriage is a commitment for life. It is a permanent, lifelong relationship.
