Personally...I don't think a piece of paper changes things in any way
If you're living together and you're not really committed to each other (which is an example they gave), then you won't be any MORE committed if you get married.
Getting married doesn't make you love someone any more or less than not.
Marriage is a ceremony that's supposed to 'unite' a couple. A marriage certificate is just a document that says the ceremony was performed.
People can be 'united' without it.
As for the 'abuse' thing. If you're gonna beat your girlfriend...You're gonna beat your wife.
This entire thing is stupid.
A marriage license costs $40...A divorce costs everything. Seems more like a 'trap' than anything else.
OH...And...I've done the marriage thing AND the living together thing. I can honestly say, there's no difference.
