to think what's the point of being married??

[scottishmum007]

I'm married myself but really living in sin would have been a lot cheaper (no wedding fees to pay for). The only people that profit from a couple saying I Do are the Government really.Anyone else thought of this before?
Besides the obvious reasons for getting married ('we love each other') is there really any incentives to tying the knot?? financially the government are raking it in, with all us saps paying the fees to marry. What don't we get an allowance for being married couples anymore?? we used to...

that's what i was trying to get at earlier in this thread Tinkerbellesmum, that the government are profiting from people getting married - the fee you have to pay in order to get married.
it's brainwashed into lots of people now that marriage is the way to go. no one needs to have a fancy wedding but the minimum cost of getting married goes straight in the government's pocket.

wabbit, i'm actually not being smug, i am just interested to know other people's opinions on this whether they are married or not.

Mamhaf, why in hell's name should I want to feel different?I feel really quite chirpy, most of the time, the way I am.

I don't want to make statements about my relationship. It seems pretty workable to me. Most of the time. And when it doesn't, I feel even less inclined to indulge in a spot of matrimony.

I have a quite horrible feeling that should I finally agree to marry him, DP would refer to me as his wife.

The very prospect...

..in fact then I definitely would feel different. Quite homicidal.
