Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
because it shows commitment?
All it shows is that you can pay the $10 and get a license. The divorce and adultry rate proves it.

Not in MN, after 27 years of living with the same GF, it takes more than just living together. Otherwise two college roommates would be considered married.
