Man a lot of cynicism towards marriage in this thread.
I guess we're just pretty confident in how things are going, we get along really well and don't have major fights and work well not just as a relationship, but as partners in all things to do with life (money, work, life, kids). Yes, many marriages are bad ideas and we've seen a lot that we personally know fall apart very quickly. But there certainly aren't those seed of trouble in our relationship -- if anything, we've only got closer as we've grown and matured and started a family together in the last 4 years. And, we didn't live together before we were married.
We also come from families full of stable marriages (both sets of parents married to one person for 30+ years, all four sets of grandparents married to one person for 40+ years) so I would assume that would affect one's perception of marriage as well.
