It's traditional. A lot of people are into that. I suppose some people might do it for tax reasons too.
I don't understand what you are comparing. Are you comparing a married relationship to singledom, or a married relationship to an unmarried relationship? Your second paragraph makes it sound like you're comparing marriage to singledom, but at the end of the third paragraph you say the opposite. And I don't see what children have got to do with it either way - it's pretty normal to have children outside marriage.
I am wondering why a woman might prefer to be a "wife" as opposed to a "partner" or "girlfriend."
I have been in all these roles and to be honest, have not felt any difference. That's why I am interested in what others have to say. I'd like to know if there's something I've missed in it all!
I am considering becoming single again (for me that means no relationship, no dates, no sex, no companionship etc).
Ah, okay. I think it's normal to not feel much difference even after you're married. A long term relationship is a serious commitment whether you're married or not, so practically getting married might not change anything. It's got more symbolic value than tangible value.
Being single can be a wonderful gift, and you should only sacrifice it for a relationship that makes you very happy.
