If you want to get married, then fine, go ahead. Marriage is something that was created simply to ensure that the father and the mother stayed around to raise the child. Marriage was really only supposed to last forever when the life expectancy for a human being was around 50 years. Nowadays, with things like child support and longer lifespans it just doesn’t make sense for people to be married to one spouse for their whole lives.

I also don’t see the problem with a couple living together before marriage. What’s wrong with that?
