I think marriage is a good thing, in that it shows two peoples commitments to the community as a whole. But its the type of thing where you have to be smart about it. I don't plan on getting married until around 30, assuming I've been in a long relationship at that point. I don't feel that marriage needs to be about the legal aspect.. but I find the ceremony important. Not for religious reasons either, simply for the community aspect. This is of course relating to a small town, not a large city. >_>
