Reasons to get married

[thesummerqueen]

I have had two marriages and three long term live-ins that were indistinguishable from my two marriages. The only difference I can say for certain was different was the absence of divorce attorneys. Now since the first marriage was in the good old days in Virginia there would probably have been a difference on getting the first home mortgage, more difficult to impossible. Can't think of anything else.

I didn't think about that. David and I have moved from "if we buy the condo" to "when we buy the condo" so I might have to get him to ask what the difference is between not being married and being married for our mortgage.
