I don't understand your question, but I can tell you that marriage was certainly not invented by the church or religion and that it is not a biological need for children to have fathers and in cultures where father figures do not exist (there are one or two of them) children do not miss their fathers or at least did not until the main culture of having a father moved in. If you are told you must have a father, you miss a father. If you never knew such a thing, you can't miss it.
I can also tell you that living together with someone depends on many things, but I find it very easy to live with my partner. We're not legally married yet though, but I'm sure after the little party (the wedding) nothing will change.

Young man you must understand that marriage was design for children, Because a long time ago. Men and women where having sex and as soon as the woman would say to a man that they where having a baby the guy was gone. So the Church design marriage of a man and woman in order for the both of them to think about parting ways before just leaving. Because children are the ones who get hurt the most. And they really can't understand the reason for mommy and daddy not being together under the same roof. And at one time it was believed that if two people live together, It was a sin to do that.

Marriage is a vow to each other that attracts authority and blessing to a relationship that is otherwise lacking. It adds a layer of complexity in breaking up when hard times hit as well. You don't need a degree to realize a husband commands more respect than a boyfriend in social circles. The law recognizes marriage as a more serious covenant and deep down every person on the planet does...most of all children love the safety blanket of a marriage and although they say it doesn't matter...it does! Marriage has a price... but it's worth it.

well look at it this way......my father is dying from cancer and i have one sister who has been living common law for over 20 years. She has two boys 17 and 14. She thinks marriage is no big deal..... My father made a comment to me last year and it has stuck in my mind ever since.. He said what is the matter with Denis , does he think my daughter is not good enough to marry? Then I realized that fathers would feel that way and I as a mother of two, a boy and a girl will now also feel that way. I got married as soon as i graduated from University, I never once considered just living with my husband out of respect for both our parents. so yes it is a big deal and there is a big difference.
Kids will also ask why they are not married, they notice that kind of thing and feel different when their friends notice that their parents are not married.

1) Humans have a developed brain and can differentiate loyalty from lust while animals can't.
2) Children need emotional security which comes from having a stable home with both biological parents.
3) Humans have to learn to take responsibility till death do us apart.
4) Humans have courts and legal issues while animals dont.
5) Animals also can live together. Why should human beings degrade to the level of animals?????
6) Too much individuality is harmful to society. There is strength in numbers and in society than there is in individuality.

I would rather live together than get married because if things go bad and its time to leave I don't want to pay a lot of money to a blood sucking lawyer who can't win a case, been there done that.

Go to the Bible, its full of them. LOL also the IRS website! Then there is the deep feeling you get when introducing someone as your spouse... It has such a profound statement of commitment to each other without needing to be explaned.
