To the OP I would say that unless you are uber conservative. Just marry her for the convenience. It will make things a lot easier.
If you value your marriage as much as a piece of paper I would not count on making it to your 25th Anniversary Party.

"Marriage is a piece of paper" is what you said. If I misinterpreted what you said, please enlighten me.

My point still stands, though. Yes, marriage can be different things to different people. I would just make sure it is that same thing for you and your spouse.

I didn't just say that. Basically I was suggesting that marriage could be used a means to an end.

I'm surprised I'm having to explain this to you.

No need to be condescending Ronin.

My point still stands.
