Well with the divorce rate at or above 50%, I don't see how people are proving their commitment by spending $20,000 on a party and signing a document. I mean, I understand why people want to get married, I just disagree that living common law is somehow more prone to breaking up.

The idea of not living with someone before marrying them just seems crazy to me. Really crazy.
