Do you need a symbol to make a vow?
Do you need a symbol to represent your vows?
Do you need a symbol for your vows to mean something to you or others?
Probably not. It's just the preprogrammed social norm for people to think they need a piece of paper and a ring for their vows to mean anything.
I understand why people get married, but I find it unnecessary myself. I've been with the same woman for 20 years (in 8 days) and we have four boys together. Marriage will do nothing to solidify that any further than it already is. I just don't understand why people need to include the government in their relationship.
If you’ve been together 20 years and have 4 children together, hasnt the government already stepped in? Common law and what not?
