Shall We Marry?
Happily Ever After With Wedding Bells Or Without
Chapter Ten

Most male-female couples who live together eventually get married. But many partners choose not to, or don't have the option. Chapter 10 is for couples who disagree, and those who are grappling with the decision of whether matrimony is the path they choose to take. It provides:

- A one-of-a-kind Marriage Decision Tool you and your partner can use to help you decide if wedding bells are the best choice for you

- Insights from former cohabitors who got married about whether marriage will change your relationship

- Stories and quotes from couples who ultimately said, "I do," ones who said, "We don't," and why

For the first ten or twelve years of our relationship when Dan would hear the word marriage he would cough. And he denied it. He said, "I donšt do that," and I said, "You do, you [cough, cough]." So we were lying in bed one time talking. And the m word came up. And he started, "[cough, cough]." I said, "What were we just talking about?" And he said, "Oh my God, youšre right."
     - Wendy, quoted in Unmarried to Each Other
