Is it normal to not care if you get married?

I'm a female in my 30's and really don't care if I ever get married. I've never thought it was necessary, at least when I was in my 20's I liked the idea of the princess for a day thing. Now that I'm older that part isn't really the same any more and I have no desire.

I feel its about the relationship not the "paperwork". Yes there are things like insurance and who makes the decisions if I can't make them for myself kind of thing. But I'm close with my mom and family so I wouldn't mind if she did.

my boyfriend really wants to get married. I also have another friend who is trying to get married for the 3rd time. I think they are crazy.

Is it normal to not want to get married or am I really the crazy one?

    Yes it's normal. There's no point in getting married anyways if it's just gonna last a certain while. Marriage gives you nothing, except a new last name.. You can love a person and be with them without getting married

    If you love him you should get married, if not then get a divorce. Plain and simple. It doenst have to be that big of a deal, and weddings are fun. Marriage is just a pledge of love.

    Whats there to lose if u marry him? :) marry him. It sounds like ur bf will be happy to get married to you; so that is likely to make you both more intimate :)

    I neither have an urge to get married, nor a disinterest in doing so. I most certainly wouldn't find a person just for the sake of getting married. Apart from milestone birthdays (which don't really mean much outside invented chronology), it's one of the only three major experiences (birth, marriage, death) that we're able to appreciate as it happens to us. Because of that, I could see why some people think it's important (and it is) but to others, like us, it's perhaps less important.

    If I were to get married, I wouldn't do the big church wedding anyway. I'd elope and do something really life-changing and romantic and then throw the big party when me and my new wife got back.
