I'm not arguing on behalf of myself because I intend to get married someday, but I'm playing devil's advocate for people who prefer not to get married because I know it happens.

I guess maybe it is just something you have to experience to "get."
So maybe in several years from now I'll get back to you on that haha.

I suppose you could be in love and not get married. Getting married just seemed like the obvious thing to do.

To me I think the term family is subjective. Here is my definition: If you would sacrifice your life to save theirs, then they are a part of your family.

Well said, I couldn't agree more.

Love.
It's already planned that I'm getting married when I'm 27 anyways.
Me and my friend a few years back decided we'd get married when she's 25. We love eachother. We can't live without eachother. Simple enough to us.

Love.

I guess as long as the word "bastard" exists, marriage will still be the best route to start a family. And I don't see that changing for a while. I haven't seen that word in this thread yet: Family. Family goes hand in hand with marriage.
