A friend of mine has a great idea about how to approach marriage: don't unless you've dated for several years AND want to have (or already have) kids. If either condition fails, don't. Just don't.
- _delirium 13y agoThat's pretty common in my social circles. Could just be a Scandinavian thing, but mostly people get married when some legally relevant change in their lives is coming up. The two most common are having kids, or moving to another country where visa issues might be more complex if you're unmarried. It's not the only time people get married, and I do know married couples who don't have kids and don't plan to move abroad. But most of the couples I know who don't fall into those categories (including some who've been together for many years) haven't gotten married. To be honest even a number with kids haven't gotten married, despite still being together and raising the kids together.
