....That's what a friend of mine said recently. She's been living with her boyfriend for about 3 years before getting married. They used to share the house, the money and everything they had/have and they keep on doing the same now, even after marriage [of course].
But I wonder...
What's there so wonderful about marriage when they used to live like they were already married? They just signed a few more papers and that's it. Everything is like it used to be.
I could understand if that sentence came from someone who supposedly never lived with her partner before, until getting married...realizing that marriage is actually a wonderful thing (or not). But coming from someone who almost knew what marriage was?
(It'd be the same nonsense if she realized that marriage is not actually a wonderful thing.)
[
p.s. This thread is not about whether marriage is a wonderful thing or not. It's about specific cases when people live like they're married and when they get married, they pretend like they had never tried it before.]
But I may be wrong....
