This is kind of a difficult one for me to answer. I think marriage is something silly that society pushes on people. I don't see why I need a piece of paper or a ring to show someone that I love them and want to spend the rest of my life with them. However, all the health benefits and things you get with marriage are nice if you're already committed to that person. I told my boyfriend we'd have to get together for 7 years before I'd consider marriage. It was just something silly that I said because at the time I never thought we'd really last that long, or that I'd ever want to get married. Now that we've been together for 4 years, he's getting more serious about wanting to be married, so I've started to sway on my thoughts on it. I know I want to be with him, so I might as well get married because it's something that'll make him feel better about it.

i really dont think i would personally say it. but i've had ppl refer to me and my b.f. as married cause according to common law we are.
