Yeah, I believe it would be a good thing for me to get married. And if/when I find the right guy he'll think that too. It's a kinda physical, legal, spiritual, public thing,. It encourages compromise and sacrifice in the relationship (and presumably it's worth it) and is an outright commitment for the rest of your life, which is a pretty serious thing.
To me it's by no means a necessity though. For me it would be the perfect seal on the relationship I wanted to be in until I die, and I'd take it very seriously, but each to their own. It doesn't have to be on paper for the commitment to be made. If it is made though, I think it's gotta be respected.
