I don't want to get married. It's not my cup of tea. Not sure how my partner feels on it.
How many here will never get married?

Addendum: Marriage is still just a piece of paper to me, I don't need it for commitment...but insurance companies need it.

I have no say in his medical treatments and vice versa. As Velvet Dragon has said marriage is far MORE than paper.

I have no faith in marriage and do not want to ever get married.

You know, I'm not entirely sure. I want to have a ceremony to celebrate my love with a really special partner, but I don't know if that has to be marriage.

I have nothing against the idea of marriage (not including arranged ones, which i have personal issues with, but neutral regarding the system overall). I'm just happily single and don't see myself needing a relationship right now. If I do get into a long-term, stable, committed relationship, then I'd want to get married (married couples have over 1000 legal benefits in the US).

So I'm divorced but still with my Ex husband.... we do much better divorced than married. We've been together for a total of 10 years and I honestly don't know if we'll ever re marry..... I think I'll be ok either way. But if we get married again, I want the whole 9 yards....dress, tux, and outside wedding with family we just went to the courthouse the first time around :/

I'm sure I will probably get married eventually, but it's not a priority for me. Watching my parents yell and curse at each other all the time doesn't exactly make me wanna take the plunge .

i would love to get married, i want to so bad i have dreams of it but my gf never wants to and i wanna be with her
06/24/2012

Never know what the future will bring

Don't know

I'm not legally married, and don't know if I ever will be, but we consider ourselves to be. Going on 7 years

Have been, not sure I'd do it again.

Even though I've always wanted to get married, I probably won't considering the type of relationship I'm in now. I'm the submissive of a man that is poly and already married. They have an open marriage, so Him being with me is no big deal. To be perfectly honest, I don't mind not getting married anymore; I have enough love and support from my Sir already that I already feel married to Him. He actually told me He felt the same way last night .

I don't know but I at least hope to be married someday.
09/17/2012
Definitely getting married
09/17/2012
will
09/17/2012
Well, legally I can't get married.
09/17/2012
I'm actually not single, but I'm not very interested in marriage. We love each other, we're not concerned about paperwork and ceremonies.
However, my grandmother has been trying to bribe me to get married by saying that she has nice plates to give us. We've joked about getting married for the plates, and we plan on moving out of the country and it would be easier if we were legally a couple. Definitely not going to have a ceremony though, no way.

yay for the peoples that are "married" by love, but not by the government! Ceremony and paperwork...bah! We've been talking about having a 10 year engagement party (yes he proposed, but we both agree that paying for the government to tell us it's legit is raucous bull) to let our families and friends know officially that this is the closest they'll have to a wedding. Anyone else getting a lot of outside pressure to "seal the deal" ?

My guy and I have been together for 16 years and have 3 kids together.... haven't found any good reason to "make it legal" yet, and can't imagine anything that would change our minds.

I *have* a piece of paper that is not legally binding, that just says we committed to each other. We got it made by a professional calligraphy artist. You can get a piece of paper anywhere. Marriage is a lot more than that, at least in the United States.

I totally agree that marriage is an important right for everyone to have, but for us it is not a right we have ever felt necessary to exercise.

It does grant a lot of rights. Call me a cynical, paranoid conspiracy theorist, but I feel as though those rights are bait for some people. There are people who'd take the dive and get married for those rights, without having the relationship that can hold the commitment it takes, some abuse the system for those rights.

Then looking at the flip side, we have people who have committed relationships that are deemed ineligible by the government to receive those rights.
It really makes me question why certain couples get an incentive package for being in love and others don't. And until I can understand that and have the reasoning coincide with my morals, I'll pass on additional benefits and governmental recognition.
