An old Forgotten Word: MORALITY....!! |

Matthew David
 |
It is the Commitment to stay with that one person, and only that one person for the rest of your lives for better or worse.
Just "living together" is negotiable |

The difference comes when you break up! Co-habitees have less rights than married couples. Otherwise makes no difference, marriage is just a piece of paper, a big fancy dress and one heck of an expensive day! |

simple if couple had a wedding ceremony either church or civil the couple is married.... while living together is a couple staying together unwed! |

No legal rights! For example if you have separate checking accounts and one of you accidentally dies (hope not) the other has NO legal right to the finances, same with house, car, banking, medical decisions, utilities, etc.......... Without marriage you have NO legal rights.
Another reason is commitment! How committed are you if you don't get married???? How emotionally committed can you be without marriage? IF both feel they can be equally committed without marriage then okay BUT if one has even a slight desire for marriage than it will ruin the relationship!
One more reason, what if one of you gets hurt in an accident and is in a coma in the hospital???? Living together = NOT FAMILY and NO DECISION MAKING and possibly NO VISITATION (some ICU's rules)
Marriage = Family and all the power to help your loved one! |

Besides the intimacy if any, The benefits from work and the government for being a married couple of course. |

Nowadays it seems two people living together has grown to be very popular. The only different is what religions teach and what the laws say. |

For legal reasons there is no difference but if you split up you don't need a divorce but everything is still split equally. Its classed as Common Law Wife/Husband |

Living together - 'Get of of jail free card'
Married - 'Go to jail, go directly to jail, and do not pass Go' |

when your married you cant just get up and leave the relationship for ever, its a bit more difficult. when your not married you can leave whenever you want and without all the divource crap. |

The first is Godly and the second isn't. That's why the marriage vows are so holy. If you don't believe in God why do they even get married! Gettin ready for the thumbs down, let's go. |

living together your still boyfriend and girlfrined, when your married your mr and mrs. thats basically it. i dont think it means you love each other any less if your not married, most people get divorced anyway. |

Lets see...Well when people get married they take a name change and spend lots and lots of money on the wedding! When they live together it is just payin the bills! Marriage costs alot and if you get married and something happens then that means divorce and that costs money to! I would live together first and see what the outcome would be! Good luck and I hope I was some help! |

A piece of paper that says you are legit. It also depends on how dedicated you are to each other. If you want to spend the rest of your lives together, why not get married. If it is up in the air and your not sure, then living together is better than getting a divorce and everyone gets hurt. I've been in the latter position. I hurts. There is nothing like God blessing your union when you get married. It's better. |

Effort!
After marriage SOME people dont put the same amount of effort into maintaining it.
Bt then, by that point you shouldnt NEED to put effort in.. it should be natural because its what u want.
Personally, I found that marriage offerred me the security I needed. Which seems ridiculous as he could leave whether we were married or not.. but i definitely 'felt' different!
and since we separated/divorced & im now living with someone else.. i still want to marry him.
To me.. marriage is the completion, a promise to become a single unit as opposed to two people living their own lives. |

I think it's mostly financial in reality....people can be totally committed without marriage.
But when one decides to leave, nobody is getting half of the other income and etc.... |

With marriage it's harder to walk away if the relationship goes sour. If you live together you can just part ways without a court involved. |

If you ask me, none whatsoever!!! Only when you want to separate is when the issues come!!! |

Marriage is when the church recognizes your committment together in the eyes of the Lord, and also in the eyes of the legal system. It involves rings for you and her, and a signed piece of paper to make it legal.
Living together is just that living together you might be committed, but there is no rings, and no piece of paper to make it "legal". |
