Marriage should NEVER be taken lightly, and should only ever be taken part in by two equally enthusiastic and interested parties. Divorce happens way to often these days, and is damaging to the people who are in the divorce, (parents) and those directly effected by said divorce. (kids)

Snip. I'll stop you there, how long have you gone out with a woman/man? After 20 eyars, people will desire a commitment. And if you are unwilling to give it, yeah, they'll probably leave you. I've seen it a million times.
I didn't mean alone in the, "Noone loves you sense". Though I can see how it looked like it.
Marriage is a commitment, a true profession (verb, not job) that you are devotign yourself to one person. Weddings are a show.
Ah ok, sorry to have misinterpreted your remark. I concede that marriage is indeed a commitment, however my point is that it is not one that should (in my opinion at least) be considered a strict necessity or considered the 'ultimate' when it comes to displaying a demonstration of ones (hopefully) reciprocated love for another.

It seems to me that it is at the very least conceivable that two people can co-exist in a loving long-term relationship without going through the process of marriage, with their relationship being in essence almost - if not totally - identical emotionally and physically when put in comparison to one that is reinforced by marriage vows.

This opinion obviously relies on the issue that the views held by these hypothetical persons on the importance of marriage itself have to be that they are largely unconcerned by the social significance of marriage (it is after all an integral part of society's 'traditional' social structure, and is something that we are brought up to accept and positively approve as an important aspect of love and human life in general).

For example, a factor to be considered is that of religious persons, devout catholics for instance, would likely place more of a significance on marriage than would a person devoid of such religious disposition. This shows that an individual's education of the importance of marriage, and their personal opinion of it, is what makes up their mind on deciding if they wish to wed themselves. So it follows that logically, two like-minded individuals, who in this case are two people who both do not attach much importance or are leastways ignorant to the marital institution, can have a healthy life-long partnership without marriage ever factoring into said relationship. That's my opinion anyway.

Marriage is important to the woman here in the UK, they get nearly everything when they divorce, even if they are lazy and don't work, which makes me sick. Hey, just like benefit fraud, stealing off someone else.
