On the flip side, I dated my wife for nearly 6 years before we got married, so we've been together for over half our lives. So there's an argument for both sides. Don't dismiss marriage just based on others' experiences - you may surprise yourself.

It's a very common thing for society to blame "marriage" as the cause of relationships going bad. Fact is, many relationships that last a long time go sour after a while, and the only thing at fault there is the people. If you've been in a relationship with somebody for 5 years or so, you're pretty much married whether you've got a ring on yer finger or not. Marriage just makes the breaking up harder to do in some cases (Cosmo's for example. A good friend of mine is also in the middle of a nasty divorce that's been going on for more than 3 years and there's still no end in sight and there are two kids involved
) Anyway, my point is that people break up all the time, married or not... that's just the way shit goes.
And holy shit... DOLE!
