It's funny, because there are so many nice things about being married, but... I don't think they're the things "OMG have to get married" people are thinking of. I like having someone around to talk to, but I also appreciate the fact that, 90% of the time, we're doing our own thing - not in total isolation, but independent of one another. I feel like a lot of the people so gung-ho about having to get married are people who think it will be like dating forever, lots of romance and him trying to impress you, etc.
I've found that now that I'm married, there are still plenty of gestures of romance, but you're so entangled in every day life (because this person is a major PART of your everyday life, not a see-you-once-a-week-for-a-fun-date-night) that they areless frequent (though often more honest).
