[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 16097675, member: 82394"] I will be married 2 years in May and we have a little guy due in April, both the marriage and baby is a first for us both. I agree with much of what has been said so far - -Unless your religious beliefs mandate it, marriage is optional. Commitment is not the same as marriage and I would much rather be in a happy, unmarried relationship than a miserable marriage. -Marriage is generally a good idea if having children due to legal, societal and financial reasons. -Tax/insurance benefits are nice -While ours turned out great, weddings are stupidly expensive and completely unnecessary. The planning was a nightmare and I've told my wife if I had to go through that again I would reconsider marriage with her. No joke, it was the worst thing I've ever voluntarily taken part in. -Many women want a wedding, not a marriage. If you even think that's the case then don't even think about taking part in her stupid fantasy. -Nothing changes especially considering we already owned a house together. IDK if she thought I was all of a sudden going to be prince charming or what but she had some sort of a wedding hangover/letdown. For you unmarried guys, know that this is a real thing. -If it ever didn't work out with my wife I would not ever consider getting married again. Unfortunately, in some regards marriage has become another way for government to control us. This is not an issue if 2 people are committed to each other and making it work but anything less than that you better believe the government is going to make you do what they want. [/QUOTE]
