So, you don't think you would have learned the same things without the marriage license?
What  if one of the things you learned was an absolute deal breaker?

The first few months are called the honeymoon period for a reason. Then one day, you wake up and realize that if she picks the jam out of her toes at the dinner table one more time, you're gonna get tha axe, and make sure she never does that again! Grin

My point is, when we got to that point, why go with the half-measure?  If we're doing this thing, let's do it and work through any issues.  I love my wife, and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her; "living together" for a year wouldn't have changed that.

Married life is great (says the guy who's been married two months).


Long as you 1) communicate ("God you look awful today!" is *not* communication)

and realize things may change. Best to chat about long term before commiting to it. If you find marriage material, you should act on it. Quickly.

I agree, but we did live together for about 14 months prior to getting married, but we were engaged during that time.

It helped with planning the wedding

Why?  That's women's work.

Been married >9 years been with her for > 10 years.  She is away in Atlanta this week for a wound care course (she's a nurse) and I miss her like hell.  We have our arguments like in any long term relationship but they are always short lived usually ending before bedtime. 

I do not like the idea of the phrase "we have our ups and downs" because that phrase seems to imply longer periods of discontent and being angry with your spouse for long periods is very dangerous. I think on of the best sayings ever is "dont go to bed angry".  I have a feeling that going to bed angry is kinda like going to bed after trying to memorize something.  When you wake up the next day whatever it was you were angry about now has a strong hold in your mind.
