How is breaking up the same as failure? The whole reason for not getting married is because you're not entirely sure - yet.

I don't mean to be a dick about this, but you're kind of overlooking my point. I've lived with a couple of girls, and I'm glad that I never gave in to my parents' pressure to go get married. If I did, I can guarantee that I'd be unhappy about the decision, knowing that it was too early/not going to work/was the wrong person/wasn't in love.

Seriously, man. Have you ever broken up with someone? It's not "failure", it's life. Marriage is supposed to be a life long commitment, living with someone is a way to determine whether that's the right person to marry.
