What are the advantages of getting married?

I agree with you that the advantage to getting married is that you are even closer to the one that you love. My boyfriend has had a rather "unique" past. That's a diplomatic way of saying my rather old fashoined parents are going to flip when I let them in on what's going on with us. I'm proud of us for falling in love, because we did so without judging eachother, or our pasts. We found eachother when it was the right time in both of our lives to find eachother, and for us it has worked out brilliantly.

The advantages of getting married far outweigh the disadvantages of gettin married...It helpls you get closer to the person u love...it gets u the most important thing- kids, married life helps u find someone nice who supports u thru thick and thin..

I'd add these advantages: -Having someone that's always there to just hang out with when you are bored :) -Having someone to split your responsibilities with so you don't have to worry about everything in life -Not having to make a "date" in order to spend some time with your loved one -Just having someone to trust and rely on all the time!
