My roommate (also of 1 1/2 years standing) is quite opposed to marriage,
since in most states she would lose all kinds of legal rights.  I'm not
quite so opposed, since I would gain all sorts of rights :-) :-) :-)

On the other hand, since we're not married, we both have a faint niggling
feeling that all this is *not* permanent, but we don't know how or when it 
will end.  When one gets married, there is a declaration of foreverness
and at least some willingness to ignore divorce statistics...
