I'm coming up to 30 and I haven't been married yet and I keep seeing people who got married in their twenties

like why wtf why would you want to get out of the dating game that early, after dating practically no one can you honestly say you've met the one in your life you want to be with forever?

Dude, here is where I pivot.

Look, there is a reason why common law marriages exist. If a sex same couple can stick together for years, fight for the right to get married and win it. You can put a loving ring on a woman that you spent the last 10 years with. Christ. The tax benefits alone. The drop in health care. The ability to get loans and so forth.


I mean gently caress, ten years of living with a person. You know them.

EDIT: a quick google search shows I am behind the times in what it actually means. I'm still leaving this here.

When you're in a long-term, committed relationship and your partner needs health insurance, or it lowers your taxes, or your work gives them survivor's benefits, or some other concrete benefit.

That and you can get your wife to renew your car insurance when they won't give your girlfriend the time of day.

We got married when I was 26 and she was 24. Still married still happy still not fats still loving but not as wild as we used to

but we almost have the second house paid off Still travel together all over the place, still have some separate and some together hobbies

basically there's nothing wrong with doing it either way as long as you know what you're doing

tax and health care benefits are not worth the freedom of being able to bounce at any time when the level of insanity surpasses the quality of the companionship

Get married whenever you want, if ever. Who the gently caress cares?
