Dar knows not to call me his wife even though we live together and have been together for so long. Even though I do wifey shit & vice versa, I feel that neither of us deserve that title unless we actually get married. No one has to agree w/ it, that’s just me. https://twitter.com/karma_thewitch/status/1143153495991652354 …

I agree with you. Marriage means filing taxes together (if u want to), it means a legal commitment, it means you intend on a lifelong commitment. Idc what anyone says but kids together + living together does not equal marriage. Also Guam/CNMI don't recognize common law marriages.

Exactly! Also thinking of the worse case scenario: if something happens to your SO, you don’t get to decide anything because you are not a “family member”. The doctor won’t care if you’ve been together 5+ years

Forreal. The case I just looked up in CNMI (in case things changed since I last took law) was where a retiree passed away & the judge ruled that the spouse couldn't collect his benefits because they don't recognize common law spouses. Too bad for her. They were together 25+ yrs.

Marriage is about 2 people coming together as 1, not only by law but also in the eyes of God. It’s something so important and I’m sad that so many people overlook marriage as a bad thing when it isn’t supposed to be.

It also upsets me when I see people only marry for the benefits or when they use the term “divorce” like marriage is something you can easily get out of if you don’t want to be with that person anymore. It isn’t a trend. It’s supposed to mean something special.

Oh yes! Agreed on that one. I'm a very spiritual person, who also takes comfort in religion. For me and him both of our parents are still together, both got married in the church, so it's only natural we would follow suit. Divorce is just not an option for us.

I say the legal aspect because that's the one that'll come back to bite all the "mARriaGe iS JUsT a PiEcE oF PaPEr" people in the ass

It sounds very naive when I say divorce is not an option but we've already got plans in place for our marriage. Not waiting til things get bad before we seek couples therapy. Giving each other space, benefit of the doubt, time for retreats, etc. Got plans to be set in motion
