If marriage isn't something for me, but I like living with someone or being committed, I can choose this other path as long as she's okay with it but I would hardly say that that should be what other people do.

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control.

The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.
