12/20 Marry Me or Else!
Quote From: preraphWhile it's true that some unmarried people can have a stronger bond than married ones to whom it is just a piece of paper or a pedigree, it is also an unavoidable truth that being willing to commit marriage is the most easily identifiable way to measure whethr someone is ready to commit or not. Commitment is marriage. And good marriage is commitment. I see what you mean, but that is sort of a stereotype. If I were to do it again I don't know if I'd bother with a legal ceremony. But I do know my husband and I will be together for life...we just like each other too much not to be!
Some people are just against marriage. To legally bind yourself to someone for life, especially if you are young can be a dumb thing to do. People grow and change. You can be committed to someone and then 20 years later you've grown apart...changed, matured. Then there you are, stuck together because the government says you are.
And I have to disagree on the "Commitment is marriage" comment. Marriage is one kind of commitment. It may not mean commitment to some people and to other people it may be the ultimate commitment.
