Why should I get married? I have been whith my girlfriend for almost 10 years. We have never broken up, and when we argue is in a very calm and controlated enviroment, we live together..and of course, we love each other. I could say, our relationship is almost perfect. So.. Why should I get married? I think the main aspect of this answer has to do with the culture we live in and also has to do with what "be married" means for us (my girlfriend and I). We believe we don't have to demonstrate people what we feel and what we are, because "husband" or "wife" are just words... and of course, we respect other beliefs. Likely, in the future, we will have to get married anyway, for legal issues when children come.
