DSF she and I may share the same belief and opinion that marraige is most often (not always ) a more committed relationship. The stats back that up as far as people who live together before marriage have a very high rate of divorce due to the "it is just paper belief" I cannot speak for Rhap or you but can say that studies find married people make more money individually and live longer lives. This does NOT take away from good relationships we have all had outside of marriage (before ) . Love is love but marriage is a commitment. Odds are on my side in 15 years my husband and I will still be together...odds are (this is not a slam ) that you and your EX will not be. I am sure MR DSF is somewhere out there. I have been in all spots in my life. Had cool male friends... *FB's* if you get my drift but it is not the same as marriage. Trust me marriage has it's down sides too but its a more stable relationship. Apples and oranges

Nah she said something about marriage being more unique/committed.

given the number of relationships that break up DESPITE that piece of paper ...

to me it's the person you're with that should give you that experience not 'nuptials'.

Yea but I do still love him and now we have both been away and seen the world ... who knows if he will be Mr DSF or not?

And if he isn't, I don't know if I will get married, but my relationship will be just as sacred as if I have a piece of paper noting that well actually i am 'married' to him.
