Why would two people rather get married instead of just live together? Marriage has so many problems and paperwork and divorce is even worse.

If your GF aske you today to marry her, why would you choose that over just living with her as partners?

It's a sacrament, like communion and baptism.

There are things that happen spiritually too.

I had no interest in getting married, but my g/f (now fiance) convinced me with those 2 things.

That and incessant whining, lots of whining.

This, it's a very serious commitment between a couple and it symbolizes and formalizes the connection that they have.

Is TC saying people should live together but keep separate residences?

Cause common law will fuck you whether yer married or not.

@the_cajun88

What ARE some of those must have legal benefits? I ask because I'm getting to that age where eventually I'm going to have to decide if I want to get married or not.

The way I see it is that the downsides of of marriage and especially divorce can really fuck you over bad. We've all heard the brutal divorce stories that tend to be common place.

I don't see how keeping everything you own as YOURS is a bad thing in any way shape or form. If you split there's no paper work, and you keep 100% of all your possessions.

Your concerns seem to be things that can be solved with a prenuptial agreement.
