When they can be just as happy non-married. Being married is a lot harder. You have to deal with little kids and hang around with them, and so on.

From the practical standpoint, it's actually easier to be a legaly married couple than a non-married couple... The laws are just geared this way. You don't have to deal with little kids if you never have any - and you can be either married or un-married to make this choice; there are plenty of birth control options nowadays. If you mean being married vs. being single (as in "not in a relationship") - multiple studies show that relationships enrich our lives, and provide meaning; this is why people always strive for relationships, and are often willing to take big risks to achieve their goals.

I was engaged when I was 24 and married when I was 26 Our wedding colors were a pale peach and chocolate brown We each had our brothers as witnesses (2 total), it was a very small wedding (14 people were there including us and our reverend) Our reception was held a month after our wedding, and we did not have assigned seating, most people didn't sit, it was a cocktail party We had a small chocolate cake and then a variety of desserts for people to choose, I think there were 5 different choices We went to Maui for two weeks We got married in Gleneden Beach, OR, a tiny town on the coast, just outside of Lincoln City

I personally do not believe in marriage.
The only difference it makes is :
if you want to end the relationship, you have to get a divorce.
2 people can be just as happy (or happier) living without the pressure of actually being married

The reason that my wife and I got married because we love each other, and we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and make the commitment to each other by getting married. And we had all 3 of our kids after we got married. Sounds to me like your afraid of commitment and that you don't like kids.

Because they think they love each other & will be together forever but as time goes by it's not what they thought & alot can't it-I'll never get married, I've dated women, lived with one, & they taught me alot what marriage can be like, but you must find that perfect person to have a marriage work.

You get married becouse you love some one there is on real other reson. And kids are the best joy in a parents life.

because some people are very happy & very prepared to be in a marriage. some people just know thats what they want in life, including the kids. sometimes thats what makes people happy.
