Being married has always been important to me.

I like that we are legally bound together as our own entity. In everyone's eyes he in mine and I am his. For me I wouldn't enter a business relationship or build a home without a contract so why would I share my life with someone for less.

I take marriage as "till death do us part" though (unless he played up...) and so nothing can come between our relationship.

I'm old fashioned though
