It depends on what you want and need in a relationship.
I found that marriage helped my long term relationship,
because it was the moment when we finally made a serious commitment to each other in front of our friends and community.
It turned off the relationship radar scanner.
But no relationship is easy.
Marriage is not a romantic thing.
It's hard work and requires proactively learning the skills of communication, emotional intelligence, and problem solving.
A good marriage is definitely the best situation for children, irrespective of faith or belief.

100% agree it is not romantic all the time, it is a partnership. I've had many people disagree with me on that. My wife and I are not really romantically engaged with each other, but we are still partners and parents to our daughter. If you dispense with all the unrealistic ideas that life is going to be warm and fuzzy forever marriage is good.
I think that usually a pair bond is the best way for a child to grow up but excluding abusive relationships of course. @clothos:
