Marriage is two things for many people:
1. Its a religious and sacred ceremony where a couple anounces to the world that they love each other and pledge to spend life together. For those of us who are religious, its our feeling that the union of man and wife is blessed by God.
2. Marriage is also a piece of paper (as some people put it) and a legal promise that both parties are committed to the union, both religiously and legally. You're saying that you're in the marriage for the long haul and that you commit to the relationship and to prove it, here is a marriage contract.
Now, the most important issue is the first point, but the second point is the more practical issue. Its practical because you're telling your partner that you don't want an "escape clause". Without marriage all you have are words and emotions involved without an obligation. There is no obligation and no responsibility for couples living together. Either can (without any hassel) leave the relationship tomorrow. Marriage is different.
In closing, I don't look down on those who live together and call themselves common-law couples or whatever. Heck, I don't even care if the couples are the same sex and gay. That's their thing. What kinda frustrates me though are those who think I'm prude and old fashion because I think marriage is a holy obligation and a holy union between a man and woman. Are some people so insecure in their own relationship that they have to put my preference down? Do what you want, but don't think we're wrong for doing it our way. Doing so only cheapens your argument.

The only difference between marriage and a common-law
committed relationship is a piece of paper.
I apologize if I offended anybody. Marriage is important, but it is
up to the individual. My point was, that if you are that committed
to each other, it doesn't matter if it is a legal union or not. All the
power to ANY couple that can endure what life has to offer.

Marriage is important. It is the license for making a family. A family life is the bed rock for rearing children and creating a responsible society and nation.

For society marriage is v imp.Ppl have this herd instinct & feel threatened if you take a diff path. For me marriage is imp but my 2 older brothers choose not to marry & ppl cant stop hounding my mom to get them married otherwise they will regret it later. Marriage is a personal choice.

Well marraige is not important to me. The thing thats important to me is success. I want to be a model and I want to be well known. But for some people marraige is very important to them. It just depends on their goals and what they think is healthy for their own lives.

For some, yes, but they are now the minority. More and more people are finding fulfillment in singlehood. Some, like myself, wouldn't marry for good money.
