Tom,
You stuck your life on here, so you get my opinion too =]. My wife and I have been together for seven years, have lived together for 6, and have been married for a year. We too were in the same place as you are now, we knew how we were, how we felt, and where we were going and didn't care about a piece of paper that doesn;t make a difference. I can tell you though, that things do change a little bit when you make it official. Even though Alex and I have been together for so long it was like our souls merged just a little bit more and I now feel complete. I wouldnt have known what I was missing until it actually happened. I am not here to tell you what to do, and I am definately not here to tell you god is guiliting you into it (which is a wrong reason to get married). I am just letting you know how marriage has affected my life. You will know when the time is right, just keep an open mind and you might be surprised. Its a shame you guys live so far up the road it sounds like the four of us would get a long mighty fine. Talk to you later bud,
Cory
