People keep asking me if marriage has changed anything...

...no, it's hasn't. Why should it? What is it about marriage that should change a relationship? Shouldn't the relationship not need changing before a marriage?

I just don't get it. M'lady and I were happy together before we got married and we're still happy. Nothing's changed, nothing needs to. We're still the same people and we still love each other very much. We got married because we were happy... why the hell would we want to change that?

Perhaps many people think that getting married will strengthen their relationship or fix whatever problems currently exist? Well, I don't think it will. A bad relationship won't get better with a binding contract. If it's broke, it's gonna stay broke. If it's good, it's gonna stay good.

A marriage won't change a relationship. All it does is announce to the world that two people want to be together for the rest of their lives. Nothing less and nothing more.
