[QUOTE="Dove, post: 732813, member: 535"] That piece of paper has a lot of power, Reaper. In reality without that legally binding piece of paper.....if you got forbid had a stroke....she gets no say in anything. If one of you dies you have no say in anything. It's not just paper. The paper is just a document stating that the two of you are bound by law. I would definately not feel secure in a relationship without marriage being a goal and then happening. I KNOW I wouldnt live with a man again without the protection and security of marriage. It's not about money at all. Look at what I'm personally willing to go through. I'm sticking shit out in this pain in the ass trailor long after we decided we are not going to pay to renovate it (we cant move it...the state wont let us) so we can our living expenses this LOW so that I can homeschool and my husband can finish his degree. Would I fucking do this for a man who isnt willing to make me his legal owner? Fuck no. Maybe im a bit culturally backwards. I think a lot of people view dating as an audition instead of interviews for future spouses and this is how I would treat dating. And then what happens is....people get married and change. Because they "nailed it down" and now they can be themselves. And I think that's shit. Putting a ring on my finger is an upgrade to a better program....yanno? There are things i would only do for a husband that I wouldn't do for a boyfriend. And no....its not anal. This is me, Reaps. If you and your woman are happy with the situation than you are. I think she would LOVE to be married to you. No matter what women may say...we really do not view marriage as paper. A lot of women will say this and not mean it because she wants him that badly. All I'm saying is I would never compromise certain needs of mine especially when I view them as common sense and noble. [/QUOTE]
