Will he ever marry you if you live with him and provide for him like a wife?

I know a lot of women that are living with men and have been with them for years and years. The woman wants to get married but the man dont...why? well because why should he, hes already getting everything he would get if he were to marry her. I believe this goes right along with the saying, why buy the cow when you get the milk for free! How do you feel about this?

It could be true. I do believe in that saying. But all arrangements could be different. Maybe the divorce rate is high enough that one of them don't want to chance it? Or maybe they are waiting for some unknown reason to the rest of the world? Or maybe they want to see if it can last before making it legal? MAybe they are afraid of change. It works for some and sucks for others. BUt if it works and both people are happy, why knock it?

I see what you are saying, however, it is not right in the eyes of God either. I just think it brings problems to the relationship! If there is a mutual agreement, why? I am curious in that~

I am always curious too. I have heard about couples that have lived together for years, because at the time when they wanted to get married things weren't working the way they wanted to, so they tried this way instead. I believe it is wrong in the eyes of god. But it is not my place to judge. I think in a way it is a good thing. Because both are free to leave with little legal hassle.And if no kids are involved the even better. When most people get married they find things out in their spouse that they just can't live with and within the first two year of marriage, they divorce. These people could have figured something out the rest of us haven't. who knows?

you are really right about this. i have heard a lot of stories wherein the man never proposed marriage to the girl after so many years of living together. he realizes only his mistake for not having married the woman when, the woman tires of the hanging relationship. the woman then at last walked out from the man. it is good if there is no third party involved. the man can still marry the woman, but in cases wherein, the woman has already found a new love who is marrying her fast, obviously, the guy shall lose the woman forever.

My father and "step mother" were together for sixteen years unmarried. One day he just decided he wanted someone else and well, they werent married, so it was easy for him to do. I just think it makes things harder on the relationship if you live together unmarried because the woman begins to feel worthless.
