Why should I get married?
I have been whith my girlfriend for almost 10 years. We have never broken up, and when we argue is in a very calm and controlated enviroment, we live together..and of course, we love each other. I could say, our relationship is almost perfect. So.. Why should I get married?
I think the main aspect of this answer has to do with the culture we live in and also has to do with what "be married" means for us (my girlfriend and I). We believe we don't have to demonstrate people what we feel and what we are, because "husband" or "wife" are just words... and of course, we respect other beliefs. Likely, in the future, we will have to get married anyway, for legal issues when children come.

We don't believe that we don't have to demonstrate prove to people what we feel and what we are, because "husband" or and "wife" are just words,... and of course, although we respect other people's beliefs. It is still likely, in the that will get married in the future, we will have to get married anyway, for legal issues when children come we decide to have children.
What an insightful piece, Alexis. I wish you both the best in whatever choice/s you make in the future. Cheers! :)

Indeed, there are legal reasons without children, but, these have not been issues yet. I liked your point of view. Thanks Dorothy!

Oh, and I should say that emotional and psychological reasons are totally valid!
Truthfully, if it weren't for the financial and legal reasons I would have never gotten married at all to the love of my life. The fact that you have each other is what counts!

There are legal reasons without children. If one of you gets sick for instance the other will have a much better time if they are the spouse and if one should die then that's when being married in America really can save your loved one from having to endure big problems on top of the loss. I don't know what the laws are in your country, but in ours being married is important for these two aspects alone and is the main argument gay people have for wanting to get married. Also, if you want to buy property together that's a reason as well as here in America taxes and other financial reasons come into play.
Marriage is a legal and financial contract. Love doesn't need contracts, but living together as a couple in the modern world is a lot easier with that little piece of paper.
I have noticed that a lot of men make the arguments that you do when they are afraid of the commitment. I'm not saying you are, but that's what I've noticed in many American men. Financially and legally it makes so much sense that when it's avoided, it's usually for emotional or psychological reasons.
