Why did you bother getting married?

Do you feel one or both of you are insecure hense the marriage?

Do you feel superior to those in long term relationships but not married?

Why on earth would a married person feel "superior" to someone in a long term relationship?!
What an odd question.

I have often felt that vibe. Everyone knows the type of people I'm talking about.

We married for religious and legal reasons.

Why would we feel superior?Confused It's marriage, something anyone can easily do for a small fee. Nothing special about it really.

All the usual legal and romantic reasons!

Why are you asking?

It was easier and quicker than drawing up equivalency documents to replicate as far as possible the legal and financial aspects of marriage, and we were having a child. We didn’t invite or tell anyone for years. It was just a handy contract.
