I've been with my girl for 9yrs now? I proposed 2yrs into the relationship, and that was enough. I don't feel the need to be married. Some little piece of paper doesn't change who/what we are to each other. And without that little piece of paper, if either of us wants to just bounce out we can with no strings attached. After 9 years with her, if she asked me to get married right now, I'd pretty much tell her no.

Marriage and all the baggage it brings can kill relationships (I've seen it happen all to often), 2 people that were so in love they "tied-the-knot" and a year later are getting divorced. It's too expensive on both ends for my tastes.
