I've been married for 2 years now. I am not sure, if I am really happy. Sometimes I am. Sometimes it is routine. Oh well... It is life.

In my country (Lithuania, Eastern Europe) there are many people living just like that, not married, but having children, acting like wives/husbands. Some of them are happy, some of them are not. And you know what, I don't think it's all about marriage. It is not at all, actually. The thing is the foundation of your relationship. If it is love, you will state you don't need any documents or other prooves to confirm it. BUT if the female fall in love with the other guy, then... sorry... That is the foundation! If relation was grounded on it... Then the female (or male) follows her (his) love. But if you love, respect, feel responsible for your would-be family, you can feel in your heart you need more than just living with the person. You need some affirmation. I don't say my thoughts are the truth, I just give an example, how the marriage can be understood and how generally it is understood in Eastern Europe. It is still something special and magic in here. The relations after marriage is the other question. You have to listen to your heart, if it is serious.
