I know some people like staying together without getting married with a reason. What are your reasons?

We are sure, we are legally married and also married by following religious rituals and in the presence of elders in the family as well as friends and relatives. Generally most marriages are done in the presence of priests and it is later registered by producing a copy of marriage invitation. Some love marriages,some marriages where parents are not agreeing, then the two go to Registrar of marriages and marry in front of him by signing the register and exchanging the garlands.

We are not married. We have been together for 6+ years and going strong. For one I cant afford a big wedding. And two I dont need a piece of paper saying I love him. I feel we have a very good relationship and dont need to be married to love eachother and support one another.

Me and my partner live together, we do plan on getting married one day but I take marriage very seriously and think so many people today find it so easy to get divorced. I want to know that when I get married, it's forever. Living together, we're learning each other's boundaries and it's a trial period to see if it could last for the rest of our lives. Then there's money, weddings can be expensive... since I only intend on doing it once, I want to do it properly!
