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... stan shebs
