Well lok at if from my Point of Veiw if I where to get married and then divorice 1/2 of my business now becomes my ex-wifes and 1/2 is mine even though I worked my ass off to start it all where as if I was never married and were seperated I would still soley own my business that is what I ment by Legalites now this can be solved with prenupules(sp) but there are other issuse involved I just dont see the point of getting the legal piece of paper. I mean if the girl I want to be with say either marry me or I am gone I will do it but it is not somehting I am activly seeking, my ex-girlfreind never wanted to get married, and still does not.
I agree, from a practical standpoint there are only 2 reasons to marry nowadays..... 1) Legalities 2) Religious/personal convictions At least so far society still recognizes these reasons.... although society has loosened it's original view of the subject considerably. I just hope it doesn't slide further still.
I can certainly understand your concern, and by all means agree that no piece of paper will make you love another person more than normally. However, I believe the added commitment that is supposed to accompany marriage (which is really the heart of it) can nuture a deeper love. What I hoped to imply was that marriage vows, whether made legally or privately to each other, should only be done to encourage and nurture a deeper love. Any other reason, ie security, friendship, fun, financial reasons, is really an anithesis to the whole environment of marriage. All of those reasons are at greater risk of being lost in marriage than without.
I agree with that 100%, I am not anti-commitment, but I find certin laws pertaining to marraige appling at best my concerns are purly legal, I have spent a great time studing laws and the justice system in my free time and it is all screwed up
