The way people say they don't "believe" in something like marriage, that is not a "belief" but a "fact" irks me, but never mind that.
I used to agree with marriage when I was religious. Now, I see it as a hassle. I don't want the whole fuss, on a financial level, or on an emotional level. I don't want to be the 'centre of attention', I don't want to waste a shitload of money that could be spent on a house deposit, or putting money away for my future kids.
For me, I think being in a committed relationship is enough, there is no need for paperwork to "prove" that I love someone and want to be with them for the rest of my life. That in itself would be enough for me to work on maintaining a relationship. I wouldn't feel like it was any lesser because it wasn't "official".
The only real consideration I'd give it is if the guy I was with really wanted it. If it was important to him, then I would do it, purely because what he wants would be important to me because HE would be important to me. But I'd rather just sign the damn papers at the registrar's office or whatever the fuck it is you do. If you need the whole family and friends involved shit, then have a barbeque or something.
Fuck, I ranted. And used a lot of "quotations". Meh.
Do you believe in marriage?
