I see no difference in marriage

personally, I see no comparison between being in a relationship and being married. It's a "legal bond, a ring, piece of paper, comes with benefits."

there's a loop hole in everything, think your marriage is falling apart? It's okay I'll just annul or file for divorce. You can break up but oh no! It suddenly means more to get divorced than to break up.

The ring: a promise ring means just as important than a stupid wedding band. The piece of paper: yeah, people start caring more about your pledge to each other once it's in print. My relationship is that much more serious. Please, I took my relationship as serious as the day it began. It comes with benefits: you get a tax exempt and/or you are allowed to live together whether or not your a military couple. You can go on the same insurance policy and file jointly. The same can be accomplished if filing under a domestic partnership. It isn't much different if you lived together before deciding to marry. Choosing to marry because your partner lives in a different country or continent is a valid argument. One other thing I find to be a little silly is, why don't people celebrate their regular anniversaries? it's not like your relationship changed much.

I am not ready for marriage and won't be for some time. You can argue that since I am not married I do not know what it is like and/or do not quite understand. Try to convince me otherwise.
