I see no purpose in marriage either. However after being together for 10 years we decided to get married for, predominantly, practical reasons.
So < £40 later we were heading for the registry office in Weston-Super-Mare, got married, then went home for a few nibbles with the 4 friends we'd sprung a surprise wedding on. (we needed witnesses).
We went on to spend our wedding day afternoon at Ashton Gate watching Brighton draw 0-0 away to Bristol City.
The fun started the following day, when we started to ring around the family to tell them. Funnily enough, her side of the family didn't speak with us for more than a year.
Honeymoon was in Cardiff a month later, where we beat Bristol City in the play-off final.
2004. What a year!

Married 21 years this year but been together for 26 years.
We have 3 kids growing up fast.
I would definitely marry her again after knowing her all these years.
We have our ups and downs like everyone and I am far from perfect but the good times are great.

Don't be daft, people get married without it having to be religious all the time, and they do so because it is a very public way of committing themselves to each other.
If marriage only had a point through religion then there'd be no such thing as a civil ceremony. You've also missed out all the legal benefits too.

Absolutely not!!!
Still married on paper but been separated for years. GF in same position, long-time separated but still legally married. Even if both ex's were off the scene neither of us actually want to marry again.

Been married for 48 years, after 2 years a courting (do folk still go courting?) My missus is my best friend and we have 2 lads with partners and 3 lovely grandchildren. We have had our bad times but mostly good. Having a family adds something to your life.
Would I remarry? Not at my age. I would become a miserable old bugger but I would hope to get to more away matches if I was on my own!

never again. My wife is the one and only. if it goes wrong then i'll be happy to stay single. marriage can be wonderful ,but can also break you
This puzzles me. Why don't you and your gf simply get divorced and cut ties with your legal spouses? Not passing judgement, just genuinely interested.
Ok, sorry to be pedantic here but lots of posters who are married here are saying- They love their partner, have great kids, wonderful times etc but for me that is not really answering the question. Someone could also say that who is NOT married.
As a non-married person I am intrigued to know what marriage gives you that a strong relationship/kids/mortgage/pet dog etc does not? Please note I am asking with genuine interest.

Her's walked out leaving all sorts of sh*t behind and has tried to get her to sign papers once... she's being difficult just to spite him really.
Mine is a complete loose cannon and I don't want a custody battle so I'm working on the "ain't broke, don't fix it" principle - we have an arrangement that works but only while both of us make it work. Once my little one is old enough to make his own decisions [and be able to carry them out], then I'll do it and she won't be able to stop him coming to me whenever he wants.

I'm fully aware that people get married in non religious civil ceremonies all the time. My argument is that they are pointless. You can commit publicly all you like without getting the state involved.
What are the Legal benefits? I can think of only 2 off the top of my head: no inheritance tax if they died and if you wanted your spouse to get a UK passport.

I'm on my second marriage and this time round I get it. It has made a difference we are a team us against the world! We have had a run of 4yrs of stress + sadness which has made us stronger I couldn't cope without him. Sorry if that is sickening but being married makes yr appreciate each other more. Saying that if anythingvwere to happen I wouldn't get married again.

So we can have an informed debate about the pointlessness or otherwise of marriage:

Ah, complications. Cheers for explaining though.
The law with regard to kids and divorcees really does annoy me. It is outrageous that a man should have to cower to his nutjob ex because of the fear of losing contact with his kids. It makes my blood boil.

Cheers for that. Couple of things that I wasn't aware of, but it seems to me that, apart from inheritance tax relief, any legal 'advantages' of marriage can easily be sorted by drawing up a will.
Similar. Been seperated for 4 years but still legally married but with nobody else involved. Together for 32 years but a few things that happened over that time we just felt separating would be best for both of us. We only live a hundred yards apart and all is shared moneywise etc and we both go out with my son and his wife and my grandaughter as a family. Get on better now than we ever did I suppose. Would I want to get married again. No. My parents managed 57 years together and I always felt that I would follow the same way and be with Mrs B for life. Call me old fashioned.
