What do you think about getting married?

Woohoo! Tax break!

Getting married isn't taken seriously anymore. That's what I think.

Neeeveeeeer! :P

Marriage is a legal instrument through which two people who are not legally related become related in the eyes of the law, exactly the same way that adoption creates a legal relationship. There are several reasons such as medical and financial reasons why this can be important. If a hospital tells you that only family can see your significant other or they need a family member to make a decision about their care, tell them you are not family but you love them and that should be enough. See how far that gets you.

I don't care about it much. I don't see it as necessary or life milestone really. If I met someone that I loved and wanted to spend my life with I would marry them though. Two reasons. One, because of the legal reasons listed above, and two, odds are it could be important to the other person. (Or his family at least, most older mothers are super into their kid's wedding.. including my mom I guess. Okay three reasons.)

Marriage is no longer seen as a committed relationship by society, but a messy set of legal restrictions. Often, a very committed couple will have children and choose not to be married.

Marriage isn't just about love, but commitment. You can love someone and leave whenever you stop being happy -- but that's not commitment; that's just doing what you want for yourself. Commitment means saying "I will stay with you even when it is not fun for me." That's what marriage is supposed to be about, even though it's not for many people.

The idea of marriage doesn't appeal to me much. I abhorred it for a while, but that changes with age. But still, love is my goal, not marriage. If I find someone someday who I feel 100% comfortable marrying, great.. If not, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
