I have been very happily married for 22 years and I encourge my 17 year old daughter NOT to marry. When I consider the feelings I have for my husband, no piece of paper is needed to legitimise them. While you love commit whole heartedly to the other person. Fight for that love, it is not easy to find. But if it does end, have the freedom to move on.
Aww so true! The freedom to move on is very nice! I just hope cheating doesn't rise as a result.
I don't think a piece of paper ever stopped anyone from cheating :)
