I've been living w/ my roomie for so long that we're considered "common law' by the Canadian Government. I think that is retarded!

on the wedding night the man gets to see the woman's pubic hair and breasts and gets to stick his penis somehow into the woman's vagina for some reason, or so i hear, its suppossed to be a big deal......
actually it seems to me that two people find another individual of an equal place and quality in society, make a deal to use each other for selfish reasons, then either grow to hate each others fucking guts or get so used to each other they become part of their daily rituals and refuse to change in any way because they hate change so they go on with the charade and know nobody else would marry them anyway.......

You have that in the States too. "Common Law Marriage" here it's when any 2 ppl of the opposite sex co-habitate for a year or more. I now have legal grounds to take half of his wealth if we "separate". I think there are potential tax implications as well, I really don't know much about it.

Marriage does not exist in Poshnu culture (as the rest of Tuvalu as far as I know, but it's a big mysterious place) Our social mating structure is based on dominance hierarchies, on which I am the apex of an inverted pyramid. I'm the only citizen of course, so my competition is not in the form of other citizens but in the form of trees.

No, we're not even an item! I really don't like the whole deal. But it hasn't affected our lives in any way so far. We didn't recieve any documentation or notice or anything, I'm just aware of it, vaguely.
Hypothetically, we could still get married, of coarse, but the gov. would recognize us as married if we wanted (for taxes or whatever), as far as I know.

i think the "common law marriage" laws vary from state, two years where i live i think...... the laws are mostly outdated and were meant to deal with the poor and fringe of society people and kids... i don't think most people worry about these laws unless there is some sort of "problem"

one of my friends got married about a week ago. what i find stupid about getting married is throwing a massive wedding party-but it seems that's what ppl do here. my friend actually spend all his money to throw this party-if i were him i would spend that money on having nice time with my girlfriend/wife. and i also think that getting married should be a personal thing, so i definitely wouldn't invite too many ppl-infact the best way for me would be if only two ppl attended the wedding.
but that's just me

i will have been married two years this oct. its wonderfull knowing you have met, and are with your mate for life. the feeling of being able to share even your most intimate secrets. i dunno, its just great.
its like a relief. because im with her, im more comfortable with myself.
weve been having a few problems of late, but things are starting to look up. were taking an overseas trip next aprill, and just trying to relax a bit.
belle has also just started back at work, which is helping her heaps. she still needs to feel independant.
but yeah, in general. its fucking awesome.
we have a two year old girl too. which is an even more intense kind of love. its amazing.

Last I saw, in the US, common law marriage only went into effect if you filed joint tax returns, and otherwise acted as if married in any legal matter. Only a handful of states still recognize it, and I don't think there's a set number of years now. And yeah, it's outdated.
