Hubs and I were older when we got married. We had been together for a few years and knew we loved each other, we’re committed to our relationship, and were in it for the long haul. It made sense, especially when it came to the legalities of finances and health. While we don’t have much, he has a few less than honest family members and it was safer in the long run for us to have spouses named as beneficiaries and power of attorney. We knew our lives would be safe with each other.

@Justmeraeagain the celebration makes sense.

@NerdyPotato I think if you wish to commit to each other marriage is one way to do that.
I think it somewhat sad you have to defend that decision.

@Justmeraeagain there is no need to defend it. I think marriage is more than respected and even expected by society. I personally think you can commit to someone just fine without a wedding, and that placing a signature in front of an official and witnesses doesn't make the commitment or love any better or more meaningful, but celebrating that decision makes sense. And even if it wouldn't, it is your decision and it doesn't matter whether I understand or agree with your motivation. I was just curious, that's all.
