  > I have no intention of getting married, so: No I won't. No offense, but that is a silly attitude. Marriage isn't about love, it's a legal contract two parties agree to. It entitles you to rights like power of attorney, ability to make health decisions for each-other, inheritance, etc. In addition, it also has non-trivial tax benefits, especially if one of you isn't working. Honestly, having kids without getting married is pretty irresponsible in my opinion, simply because of the very important legal benefits that come from marriage. But whatever, this isn't /r/relationships....

    I've been married twice. I am perfectly aware of the implications of marriage and that's why I won't engage in it again. And you're right: This isn't the place for relationship advice, nor was I asking for any.
