"Maybe one day, marriage-like the human appendix, male nipples, or your pinky toes-will become a vestigial structure that will, in a millennium or two, be obsolete. Our great-great-great-grandchildren's grandchildren will ask each other in passing, "Remember marriage? What was its function again? Was it that maladaptive organ that intermittently produced gastrointestinal antigens and sometimes got so inflamed that it painfully erupted?"
Yes. Yes it was.
Until that day of obsolescence, we can confront the dilemma and consider the choice a privilege. Once upon a time is the stuff of fairy tales. As for happily ever after-see appendix."--By Ellen Tien

In my humble opinion I think marriage is an outdated practice. I don't think in this day and age it's necessary to be married. I mean come on look at the divorce rate!
Matt and I are together almost 10 years and we are not married. How would marriage change that? In fact if we did get married it would cause more harm than good. I'd be screwed out of the health care I need because in the governments eyes Matt makes enough money to care for him and I. Which means we'd have to spread what money he does make to cover co-pays, meds, MRI's, and future hospital stuff.
Feh to that...
