This is an interesting statistic...

I know I for one am in no real rush to get married. From my perspective the only benefit to a marriage is extra pay (the military pays married folks more). But then there is the risk of losing half of everything should it not work out.

So here's my question, if you are in a committed relationship, and happy, why marry?
To have the privelage of calling my hubby hubby in the spiritual and legal sense...Also, it was the only way that he was allowed to live with me in the States...
