First off, marriage is cool, not saying anyone is wrong. All that follows is just a musing of how my opinion has changed.

When I first starting thinking about relationships when I was 13 or 14, I thought I'd love the concept of marriage and enjoy that, and need that.

But over time I've realized...I don't. That's not to say I don't want a healthy, persistent, monogamous relationship (though I'm open to having my mind changed), but that I no longer feel the need to consecrate it anymore. Two people can love each other without the recognition of the state, and for myself, I don't think I need the recognition of the state or religion.

It's weird how opinions can change and how different one might be between adolescence, young adulthood, and moving into adulthood.
