I could never really understand why people tortured themselves with marriage if they don’t plan to have kids.
I had kids young and it was rough getting settled into stability, but I see so many peers just waiting and waiting for every reason why they are not ready. Sooner or later, you miss the boat. Have Faith, take the leap.

Even if you have kids marriage is completely unnecessary. Except if marriage gives you benefits like tax returns, cheaper kindergarten etc. I don't even know if such benefits exist :)
Two can love each other and be forever together without marriage but I know that's somehow hard to understand and unthinkable in some cultures.
For most people that miss the boat, it's before they know it.
I can almost agree with this. If you have kids you should be married. If you don't want kids (a mistake for most) then there is no point to getting married. That's why I don't und the whole gay marriage thing. I don't care what other people want to do and I may disagree personally but I wouldn't advocate for laws against same sex relationships, but what the point of getting married if you can't have kids anyways.
