My boyfriend says he doesn't want to get married period, ever. I know he loves me, we've been together for 3 1/2 years and lived together for 2. To me marriage isn't a religious thing (obviously, we live together). I don't even care if it's legal, I just like the sybolism, the promise of being together forever and celebrating with our friends and family.
He says he doesn't want to get married because all of his friends who have ended up divorced. I don't quite get it though because most of his friends got married for the wrong reasons (like getting pregnant) or they have drug and/or alcohol problems that cause their break ups. Neither of us use drugs or drink excessively. And I'm a huge fan of birth control. Haha.
So I guess what I'm getting at, is how can convince him that getting hitched won't cause us to break up? Any advice would be appreciated.
