Marriage
In this day and age, does marriage bear any relevence?
You could certainly argue that you are financialy worse of if you get married, but are there any actual advantages?

Signatures broken since 2009...
not that i know of, we have a lil boy, we share bank accounts, arent engaged, live together as thou we are married, behave as if we are married, but dont have a £20k day of memorys
finicially, we recieve the same as if we were married, the government treats us as such in regards that our child benefit/tax credit is paid to me as part of a couple.

there are less and less people getting married now and more people people living in civil parnerships. There's no legal advantage to getting married. You can even change your name to that of your partner without having to goto court. In this country you can be legally 'known as' any name you want so long as your not doing it in an attempt to defraud.
I heard this week that parents aremore likely to stay together (if they have children) and aremarried than couples in the same position but arent married.
Statistics though.
From my point of view i think you can live quite happily as a couple, have children and not be married. it is ana expensive day (doesnt have to be) however the actual act of marriage is
A: traditional
B: a sign of commitment from one person to another.
Now i realise that you can have a sign of commitment without the marriage but too a lot of people its very important and helps to make people feel secure and happy in their relationships.
I however dont really belive in marriage!

WAIT!
Your sister is marrying your g/f's sister, that is sweet.
Anyway.
I dunno, I guess im old fashioned, im into the idea of marriage, me and my g/f have spoken about it and its definitly on the cards, when/where/cost I dunno but yeah, im all for it.
I guess its no longer an event but more of a lifestyle choice, my mum and dad were together for 30 years, they had two kids, shared a bank account, owned a house together, and only got married last summer out of neccesity (read: Dad got his army pension early and if anything happened to him...).
*shrug*

That's no coincidence Pad. People who see marriage as important are more likely to see fidelity and maintaining a stable family environment important.Padaxus wrote:I heard this week that parents aremore likely to stay together (if they have children) and aremarried than couples in the same position but arent married.
