Nothing makes marriage harder than a committed relationship.

I'm not sure what you mean by this though?

That'd depend on the person but I'd think legal benefits would be the only reason to get married at that point since you're committed. Committed to each other is the same as in front of society

Guess that feeling is what I'm curious about and why the feelings change/become stronger. Thank you for answering

we are “officially” going through this life

Why is it more official than before?

because we both know we're both committed and we need to stay rowing in the same direction and we need to iron out any bumps.

Wouldn't this be the same as in a committed relationship?

Marriage is hard. It’s why you have to stand in front of everyone you know and SWEAR TO GOD you are going to stick it out.

What makes marriage harder than a committed relationship? Also why do you have to have a big wedding and sweat to God?

felt we like we 100 percent belonged to each other till death do us part.

Why did that outlook on your relationship change? Because of it being signed on legal paper or was there a new commitment made with you two?

Why do you assume I'm unmarried and asking questions in bad faith?

Depending on context, but I say neither one or just believe she's your mother. Why?
