Hear, hear!
Don't see the point in getting married, either. Fair play to those that do and those that believe in it, but to marry to make someone happy or to prove your love/commitment to them or to keep the in-laws happy or whatever other reason is ridiculous. If you love someone and want to spend the rest of your lives together, then go for it, yet nothing is certain. So why complicate it?
As you've said, a piece of paper and a title doesn't make for anything. I'm sure my OH would like to be married, also to have kids, but unless the world becomes a happier and safer place, we'll stay childless...and most likely together, but unmarried
Do you read Stella Grey in The Guardian by any chance?
Simultaneously funny and saddening.

"You can't blame gravity for falling in love." Oh, you mean the other one.
Divorced once, btw. Einstein that is.
I love my missus to bits, even after being together for 20+ years, although.......
About 12 years ago friends of ours went through a crisis when he'd had an affair . After much angst and heartache, his wife agreed to take him back.
A few weeks later when I'd had way too much to drink I asked Mrs Slowwww:-
Me: "If I did that, would you have me back?"
Mrs S: "It's irrelevant"
Me, rather indignantly: "What, you think I couldn't get another woman?"
Mrs S: "No, it's irrelevant because you'd be dead!!"
Oh well, at least I know!!

Fortunately I get to join the club of those who got it right the first time.
My wife and I have been together almost 60% of my life. Married for 24 of those years, I think; I have trouble remembering dates. This is why we make such a good team: I forget, she remembers for both of us.

Speaking of love, I was madly in love about 5 or 6 times, but never got married until Mrs. GA. Einstein was right.
Re infidelity, I'm surprised that anyone could take anyone back after it. I couldn't. To me, it runs to the heart of a relationship. It's trust that's the issue, not sex. Being 'faithful' has taken on the meaning of not shagging about but it's deeper than that, it is about faith. But then, I reckon the relationship must be terminal long before pants get dropped.
Of course, each to their own etc. The above is only my (highly personal) take on it.

A long standing customer of mine lost her husband last week. They had been married 66 years.

I was always told that the man that marries for the second time didn't deserve the divorce in the first place.

I keep Mrs Cube on her toes by introducing her to everybody as "my first wife".
We met on her 19th birthday.

Ah, but then that would imply that more than one has had the opportunity she has, and that would never do.
